Lindi/Mtwara. Despite repeated government assurances over the years regarding the development of aquaculture centres, the reality on the ground, particularly at the Nyengedi project in Mtama District, Lindi Region, tells a very different story.
Presenting the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries’ revenue and expenditure estimates for the 2021/22 financial year in Parliament, the then docket’s minister, Mr Mashimba Ndaki, announced that the government had embarked on the rehabilitation, expansion and construction of aquaculture development centres, including Nyengedi.
