THE Tanzania Police School (TPS) located in Moshi Municipality, Kilimanjaro Region, has received a donation of 28 beds from NBC Bank, meant to help enhance living conditions for female cadets.

The handover ceremony took place yesterday at the school’s premises. Lazaro Mollel, NBC Moshi branch manager presented the donation to TPS Commandant, Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Ramadhani Mungi.

Mollel said that the gesture reflects the bank’s commitment to promoting security in collaboration with the police force.

He said there is strong partnership between the two entities in managing security during sponsored football matches across leagues such as the NBC Premier League, NBC Championship, NBC Youth League and the annual NBC Marathon held in Dodoma Region.

The initiative aims to recognize the police force’s pivotal role in safeguarding the society, including the bank and its customers.

“Police force is a significant partner of NBC Bank in the country. Our strong relationship, based on mutual dependence, stems from our respective responsibilities. Through our banking services, the police force has enjoyed priority services while we have benefited from the invaluable services of this esteemed force, particularly in ensuring the security of our employees, finances, buildings and most importantly, our customers,” he said.

“When the school relocated to Moshi in 1954, it had 600 students. However, we now have 5000 students, necessitating additional resources to meet their essential requirements, including improved living and learning environments. The government has been committed to fulfilling these needs but community assistance remains crucial. Hence, we are immensely thankful to NBC for its invaluable donation,” he said.

He explained that the donation would alleviate the shortage of beds at the school, enabling students to pursue their studies in a comfortable environment.

“All of this has been made possible due to our exemplary collaboration with various stakeholders. They have not only provided us with outstanding financial services but also extended their support in terms of security for their assets and customers at branches nationwide.”
