The signing ceremony was witnessed by the Tanroads Chief Executive, Mr Patrick Mfugale and TTCL Chief Executive Officer, Dr Kamugisha Kazaura, in Dar es Salaam yesterday. Mr Mfugale said at the event that project to be completed in 12 months period is expected to boost efficiency of the agency.
“Tanroads value experience and technical skills that TTCL has, particularly the use of the national fibre optic, thus the internet connections in all the agency’s offices through use of modern electronic system will enhance efficiency in its operations,” he said.
The project is being implemented in 25 regions and three weighing bridges using TTCL fiber optic. The regions are Singida, Tabora, Kigoma, Tanga, Mtwara, Kibaha, Iringa, Musoma and Bukoba.
Others are Dar es Salaam (Keko and Mabibo), Lindi, Makambako, Mwanza, Songea, Manyara, Shinyanga, Dodoma, Mbeya, Sumbawanga, Simiyu (Bariadi), Arusha, Mpanda, Moshi, Geita and Morogoro.
The weighing bridges are Sirari, Horohoro and Vigwaza. TTCL Chief Executive Officer, Dr Kamugisha Kazaura, thanked Tanroads for giving the telecom firm to execute such huge project and pledged to complete it on the time as per the contract.
He said TTCL is executing the business transformation that will ultimately lead to the realisation of the fixed mobile convergence, a big differentiator that cannot easily be replicated by other operators.
The strategic plan, which will bring about business transformation within the current competition in the telecom industry, was made by the TTCL management when it started work in February 2013. To date, TTCL has connected private firms, public companies and some 80 government offices with the most efficient telecom infrastructures
