Dr Kijaji threw the challenge in Dar es Salaam yesterday when she toured the Chemicotex factory to witness its production and operations as well as hear challenges they are facing.

According to her, young people have got a chance to work in factories to ensure that they always work hard, have good morals and be creative in order to last long and improve their economic status.

“President Samia Suluhu Hassan has made a great measure to improve conducive investment and business environment thus attracting more investment in the industrial sector, this has also resulted in an increase of employment opportunities,” she said.

She explained Tanzania Development Vision 2025 aspirations and the new ones which are under preparation provides light to industrialists to continue flowing in the country as it is a safe place to put up investment projects.

Chemicotex factory chair, Yogesh Manek said the factory has been producing various products including toothpaste, cosmetics and others.

“We have employed a total of 1000 people, of which 550 this is an opportunity for anyone who wants to work,” Manek said.

He commended the government for its efforts as the current business environment is good and the factory has the opportunity to produce and sell locally as well as send their products to six countries including Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Burundi and Congo.
