Zanzibar has launched a modern information and communications technology centre as the country pushes for adoption of technology.
Zanzibar President Hussein Ali Mwinyi said the tech hub will be a major catalyst for development.
“The centre opens a new page on ICT development that will enable Zanzibar to write its name in the global science and technology map,” said Mwinyi who presided over the launch of the centre at Bweleo on Unguja Island.
