The advancements in science and technology in Tanzania continue to accelerate, as evidenced by the warm welcome accorded to the Minister of Information, Communications and Information Technology, Hon. Nape Nnauye, in the National Assembly  Dodoma.

Nnauye, who today presented the Budget Speech of his Ministry of Information, Communications and Information Technology for the 2024/2025 fiscal year, has met with a Robot who introduced itself by the name “Eunice” and whom he has welcomed and wished all the best in its duties.

The use of a Robot in the Parliamentary chamber is a clear sign that Tanzania is making steady progress in the scientific and technological revolution. This is an important step in strengthening and facilitating various government and parliamentary activities.

Nnauye said that his ministry has developed a sustainable strategy to strengthen the information technology sector in the country, including improving infrastructure, enhancing services and increasing the use of technology in various sectors of the economy and society.

“We continue to see major advancements in science and technology in the country.

Similarly, the private sector has continued to improve its services to citizens through the use of digital technology, including financial, health and business services. This demonstrates that Tanzania has begun to reach the stage of becoming an economy that is dependent on science and technology.

Experts in the science and technology sector have agreed that Tanzania should continue to invest in the production of new science and technology professionals, including strengthening the infrastructure of research institutions and higher education. This will help strengthen the country’s capacity to address development challenges.
