Shao highlighted that over this period, they have received substantial support from ALAT, leading them to comfortably sustain their sponsorship efforts, as they do so for the development of the Tanzanian people. “In addition to this amount, it is worth noting that we began our contributions nearly nine years ago. Having supported and this meeting, we will have reached a total of TZS 1.4 billion of our support to ALAT. We believe in continuing these partnerships,” he stated.

ALAT Chairman, Murshid Ngeze, noted the multiple benefits the organization has gained from its partnership with NMB, particularly in enhancing service accessibility for their constituents. Ngeze remarked that they have never faced obstacles in serving the public through local councils since NMB expanded its reach, facilitating service delivery.

“Whenever I am asked to speak about NMB, I share several points, but most importantly, we have never encountered service delivery issues in any local authority connected to the NMB network. They are truly close to us and more than that,” said Ngeze.

ALAT Vice Chairman, Sima Constantine, added that nothing can hinder their collaboration with NMB, as they consistently achieve significant successes within the bank.
