What you need to know:

  • President Magufuli’s industrialization drive is a reinvigoration of the Industrialization Agenda that started in earnest with the February 1967 Arusha Declaration on Socialism and Self-Reliance under the Mwalimu Nyerere Presidency.
  • But, implementation of the agenda met with stormy seas, until Dr. Magufuli descended on the scene like a savior from the political horizon – thus further fueling the drive towards the National Development Vision-2025. Cheers!
