GEITA, Nov. 14 -- THE government, through the Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Agency (TARURA), has granted a 100-day extension to the contractor implementing the Tanzania Cities Transformative Infrastructure and Competitiveness Project (TACTICS) in Geita Town.

The 15-month (458-day) contract, which began on November 20, 2023, was originally set to be completed by February 19, 2025.

Project Consultant Engineer, Mr Rechnold Manyanga, presented the extension details to Geita Regional Commissioner, Mr Martin Shigela, during an inspection visit to assess progress on the 17-kilometre tarmac road network under construction.
