TANZANIAN GOVERNMENT COMMENDS EACOP’S STEADY PROGRESS AND IMPACT TO SOCIAL- ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Ministry of Energy in Tanzania has commended the progress of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project as it approaches towards to the end.
Speaking during a one-day visit to inspect and witness the progress of the project’s infrastructure construction at Chongoleani area in Tanga Region, the Commissioner for Electricity and Renewable Energy, Engineer Innocent Luoga, emphasized the importance of the project to the country’s economy and regional cooperation between Tanzania and Uganda.
“We have witnessed tremendous work being carried out here. This is not just a pipeline project, but an economic lifeline that will create business opportunities, jobs, and new technologies for our youth,” said Engineer Luoga.
He stated that the visit focused on inspecting the oil pipeline laying area, where a large portion of the pipeline has already been laid, with only a small section remaining.
He expressed confidence that the work would be completed within the scheduled timeframe.
“We visited and inspected all the important sections of this project. We are pleased and satisfied, and the project report presented to us matches the actual progress on the ground,” explained Engineer Luoga.
He noted that the project has become a major source of employment by providing both direct and indirect jobs, as well as various opportunities for communities surrounding the project area.
Among the benefits are the creation of 9,000 jobs for skilled and unskilled Tanzanians, improvement of infrastructure in various vocational training institutions, and scholarships for students pursuing Bachelor’s, Master’s, and practical training programs in different colleges and universities.
“As the Government, we call upon citizens and businesspeople to seize the available opportunities, while we continue to closely supervise the project day and night to ensure it is completed on schedule,” stressed Engineer Luoga.
On her part, the Local Content Supervisor from EACOP, Ms. Neema Kweka, said that the Ministry’s visit had motivated them and demonstrated how the government recognizes EACOP’s contribution in creating opportunities for local communities.
“We continue to implement the contractual agreements between us and the Government in various areas, especially in local content, as the project has already employed more than 9,000 Tanzanians,” noted Ms. Kweka.
“We are very grateful for visits like these because they encourage us and provide an opportunity to receive feedback and challenges that will help improve some operational areas,” she added.
The Project Engineer at Marine Tanks Terminal (MTT) at Chongoleani, Mr. Musa Msafiri, said that the oil tank department has reached the final stages of implementation, equivalent to 94 percent completion, and testing has already begun.
“Two out of the four tanks have been completed, and we have started testing them by filling them with water. The results show high strength and quality standards, allowing them to safely receive oil,” said Engineer Msafiri.
He stated that the project is modern and adheres to international quality standards without negatively affecting the environment.

Yani bado Dangote amerudia eti sio lazima refinery ijengwe penye kuna pipeline just like how they did in Nigeria. 😂 😂 😂 Hii imeenda.
"Just like in Nigeria we didn't build it where the oil is, you don't build a refinery based on one particular crude" I hope umesikia hapo vizuri. 😂 😂 😂

Umeskia the last part about the refinery?😂😂😂🤣.
He clearly stated that refinery doesn't need to be where oil is na akapeana example with the one in Nigeria. So in short Tanga is out of the equation 😂😂🤣

Jamaa alisoma mandishi ya kuchochea without listening to the clip.
Yani every indication is pointing towards Kenya for the construction of that refinery.
Hata wewe unaweza jenga 650k BPD refinery. Penye hakuna a mega port. 😂 😂 😂 Dangote knows his business.
Own goal moja safi from team kimya kimya. 😂 😂 😂

I like how he bloody highlighted the last part.
Jamaa roho ishamuambia Mombasa. Visit yake ya Tanzania has no any effect to the location of the refinery.
In short alienda bongoslum to convince them refinery ijengwe Kenya. Si unaona hata account zao za serikali zimelenga kupost about the mention of the refinery. 😂 😂 😂
