Energy News Africa Ltd., a leading pan-African online energy publication based in Ghana, has extended its warmest congratulations to former Tanzanian Energy Minister Deogratius John Ndejembi on his elevation to the office of Vice President of the United Republic of Tanzania.
Ndejembi was sworn into office on Saturday at State House in Chamwino, Dodoma, after Parliament unanimously approved his nomination on Friday.
He succeeds Emmanuel John Nchimbi, who resigned as vice president earlier this week.
In a statement on Saturday, Executive Director of Energy News Africa Ltd. Michael Creg Afful described Ndejembi’s elevation as welcome news to the organisation and the wider energy industry.
“Your few months in office as Energy Minister marked a significant turning point in Tanzania’s energy sector, particularly with the commissioning of the Julius Nyerere Hydroelectric Power Plant, Africa’s second largest hydroelectric power project,” Afful said.
“Your leadership, commitment and contribution to the development of Tanzania’s energy sector during your tenure are commendable and will continue to inspire confidence in the country’s energy transformation agenda,” he added.
Afful wished Ndejembi divine health, wisdom, strength and guidance as he assumes his new national responsibility.
“As you assume this higher national responsibility, we wish you God’s wisdom, strength and guidance as you serve the people of Tanzania in your new capacity,” he said.
Afful congratulated Ndejembi on his elevation and expressed confidence in his ability to contribute to Tanzania’s national development in his new role.
