PRESIDENT Samia Suluhu Hassan has said that the Julius Nyerere Power Generation Project (JNHPP) in Rufiji in the Coast region has shown that Tanzanians are capable of great things.

He said that the project gives an image that Tanzania can do great things because when you mention big dams, Julius Nyerere's is there.

He made the statement while addressing the inauguration ceremony of the filling of water in the hydropower dam at the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project (JNHPP) located in Rufiji in the Coast region, after the stage of building an embankment that supports water storage in the dam has been completed.

President Samia has made the launch in an event held at the project area by pressing the button that lowered the gates that will block the water diversion and allow the water to start filling up in the dam.
