Investment institutions across Tanzania have been urged to expand their advertising efforts and educate the public about their services to attract more investors and boost government revenue. This call was made by staff from the Office of the Regional Commissioner of Tabora after attending a financial education seminar organized by the Ministry of Finance at the Regional Conference Hall. Regional Agriculture Officer Eunice John emphasized the need for investment education among employees. "There are many employees, but they lack education on investment opportunities, products available in investment institutions, and the risks involved," she stated. She noted the potential benefits of investing with proper knowledge, which she had only heard about through word of mouth. Martin Peter, another staff member, highlighted the personal impact of the seminar, stating he would start saving and avoid unnecessary expenses. "I will act as an ambassador to my colleagues, encouraging them to save and invest to ensure economic stability upon retirement," he said. Stella John, Public Relations and Education Officer of the Capital Markets and Securities Authority (CMSA), commended the high turnout from the Regional Commissioner’s Office. "The response has been very positive. Many employees have shown interest in opening accounts and committing to investments," she remarked. The Ministry of Finance continues its outreach, providing financial education across the Tabora region, including the districts of Sikonge, Urambo, Uyui, and Tabora Municipality. This initiative supports President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s directive to ensure every citizen has access to education on microfinance services.
