Mwalimu shule ya sekondari Kakonko ajiua na kuacha ujumbe mzito.

Mkuu wa shule ya sekondari Kakonko katika Wilaya ya Kakonko mkoani Kigoma, Peter Rubonya amefariki dunia baada ya kujinyonga kwa kamba ofisini kwake.

Tukio hilo limetokea mapema jana Jumatatu Machi 26,2018 huku kukiwa na taarifa kuwa marehemu ameacha ujumbe unaosomeka "Mkurugenzi wa halmashauri ya Kakonko Lusubiro Mwakabibi asipodhibitiwa ataua wengi"

Akielezea tukio hilo , mwalimu wa zamu Isaac Japhet amesema yeye alifika shuleni hapo mapema saa 12:30 kwa ajili ya kuwafundisha wanafunzi wa kidato cha nne masomo ya ziada baada ya kufunga shule wiki iliyopita, na baada ya kufika aligundua kuwa hana chaki ambapo mkuu huyo wa shule alimpatia chaki mlinzi ili awape wanafunzi.

Alisema baada ya muda mratibu elimu kata pamoja na mmoja wa wazazi walifika ofisini hapo wakiwa na shida na mkuu wa shule na baada ya kuelezwa kuwa yupo ndani ofisini waliamua kugonga mlango ili kuingia lakini hawakuweza kujibiwa na ndipo wakaamua kufungua mlango na kukuta mwili wa marehemu ukining’inia darini.

Mwalim Isaac ameaiambia Malunde1 blog kuwa marehemu ambaye alikuwa akifundisha pia masomo ya Kemia na Fizikia shuleni hapo hawakuwahi kusikia kuwa na mgogoro wowote wa kifamilia au kijamii, na kwamba mkewe ambaye ni mkufunzi katika chuo kikuu cha Dodoma UDOM alifika nyumbani kwake juzi akitokea Dodoma.

Naye mlinzi wa shule hiyo Kajoro Kajabojabo amesema alikutana na mkuu wa shule mapema asubuhi akiingia ofisini na kumuomba chaki ambazo alipewa na kuziwasilisha kwa walimu.

“Nilimuona kabisa tukasalimiana nikamuuliza kama ana weza kuwa na chaki, akaingia ofisini akanipatia boksi moja la chaki, nikachukua nikampelekea mwalimu aliyekuwa anahitaji ,alikuwa kwenye hali nzuri tu, lakini baada ya muda ndiyo tukio hilo likatokea”amesema Kajoro.

Mkuu wa wilaya ya Kakonko Kanali Hosea Ndagala akizungmza baada ya kutembelea shule hiyo na kumfariji mjane  amesema polisi wanaendelea na uchunguzi wa tukio hilo ili kujua sababu ikiwa marehemu aliacha ujumbe wowote au lah.

Pia ametumia fursa hiyo kutoa wito kwa jamii kutokaa na mambo yanayowasonga na badala yake wayafikishe katika ngazi tofauti za serikali ,jamii au rafiki zao .

“Hatujajua sababu lakini ni muhimu jamii ikajenga utamaduni wa kueleza matatizo ya ndani yanayoyasibu , hii inasaidia sana kupunguza msongo wa mawazo na kuepusha madhara kama haya”,amesema.

Kamanda wa polisi mkoa wa Kigoma Martin Otieno  amesema baada ya kupekuliwa kwa mwili wa marehemu huyo walikuta karatasi imeandikwa ujumbe kuwa Mkurugenzi wa halmashauri ya Kakonko Lusubiro Mwakabibi asipodhibitiwa ataua wengi

UBA Sustains Strong Performance with Growing Contribution and Market Share from Africa

• 
• 
  
• Declares Profit Before Tax of N105.3 billion
• Recommends N0.85 Total Final Dividend for the Year

Lagos, Nigeria – March 23, 2018 – United Bank for Africa Plc has announced its audited results for the financial year ended December 31, 2017, showing significant growth in the contribution and market share from its pan-African subsidiaries, among other positive trends in the financial performance.

The pan-African financial institution’s audited results showed that gross earnings grew substantially to N462 billion, up by 20 percent from N314 billion recorded in the corresponding period of 2017.

According to the report released to the Nigerian Stock Exchange on Friday, the Group delivered a strong 16% year-on-year growth in profit before tax of N105 billion, compared to N90.6 billion in the 2016 financial year. The Profit After Tax also leaped to N78.6 billion, an 8.8% year-on-year growth compared to N72.3 billion in 2016.

The Bank’s subsidiaries outside Nigeria contributed a third of the Group’s top-line and 45% of the profit for the year, a remarkable improvement from 31 percent contribution made by the ex-Nigeria offices in 2016. This, according to market analysts affirms the success of the Bank’s expansion strategy, with target of 50 percent contributions by 2020.

The Bank’s Operating Income grew to N326.6 billion, a 20.6 percent increase compared to N270.9 billion recorded in 2016. This, according to analysts, affirms the capacity of the Group to deliver strong performance through varying economic cycles and challenging business environment.

The audited results also showed that the Bank’s Total Assets peaked at N4.07 trillion, translating into 16.1 percent year-on-year growth from the figure of N3.50 trillion recorded as at 2016 financial year. In the 2017 financial year, the Bank’s Net loans achieved a prudent 9.7 percent growth at N1.65 trillion, while the customer deposits grew to N2.73 trillion, representing 10 percent YoY growth on N2.49 trillion recorded in 2016 financial year.

Reflecting a strong internal capital generation, the Bank’s shareholders’ fund also soared 18.2 percent to N529.4 billion in the 2017 financial year.

Subject to the approvals of the shareholders, the Board of UBA Plc proposed a final dividend of 65 kobo per every share of 50 kobo each. This final dividend proposal is in addition to the 20 kobo per share interim dividend paid after the audit of the 2017 half year financial statements, thus putting the total dividend for 2017 financial year at 85 kobo per share.

Commenting on the result, Kennedy Uzoka, the GMD/CEO, said: “the results, underlines the success of our strategy of expanding across Africa, diversifying revenues and capturing the broader business opportunities inherent in Africa’s growth. The results reinforce the sustainability of our business model and the capacity to deliver superior long-term return to shareholders, as the economic and business environment improve.”

“In 2017, we made strong progress in our strategic initiative of dominating transaction banking across all our countries of operation, gaining market share in all lines of our business. Even as the non-oil sectors of our largest country of operation, Nigeria, remained relatively weak, we still grew earnings by 20% to N462 billion, a third of which is attributable to non-funded income,” he further noted.  

Also speaking on UBA’s financial performance and position, the Group Chief Finance Officer(GCFO), Ugo Nwaghodoh said; “In a period of high interest rates, we achieved a relatively low 3.7% cost of funds. This operational efficiency reflects the benefit of our rich pool of stable savings and current account deposits. The net interest margin stabilized at 7%, even as yields on treasury assets dropped in the last quarter of 2017. Our core transaction banking offerings gained strong momentum, with income from these business lines growing by double digits.”

“We remain committed to our responsible approach to balance sheet management, with focus on growing risk asset and broader balance sheet in a profitable and prudent manner. Amidst a subdued Nigerian credit market, we grew our loan portfolio by 10%, leveraging our robust liquidity and capitalization to support good businesses through this challenging economic cycle. We closed the year with a Basel II capital adequacy ratio of 19% and a liquidity ratio of 50%, well ahead of 15% and 30% regulatory requirement respectively. Our disciplined approach to lending and broader risk management continues to uphold our asset quality.” 

Apart from the strong financial performance in 2017, UBA Group proved its leadership on the continent as the Banker Magazine crowned the Group, “African Bank of the Year 2017”.  To further demonstrate the group’s strength and dominance in the financial sector on the continent, four of UBA Group’s operations in Africa also led contenders in their respective countries to emerge the Best Bank of the Year 2017 in their respective markets. UBA Congo, UBA Tchad, UBA Gabon and UBA Senegal emerged the Best Bank of the Year in Congo, Tchad, Gabon and Senegal, reinforcing the strong franchise of the Group across its chosen markets in Africa.

United Bank for Africa Plc is a leading financial services group in sub-Saharan Africa, with presence in 19 African countries, as well as the United Kingdom, the United States of America and France.

From a single country operation founded in 1949 in Nigeria, Africa's largest economy, UBA has emerged as a pan-African provider of banking and other financial services, to c.10 million customers globally, through one of the most diverse service channels in sub-Sahara Africa; 632 business offices, 1,750 ATMs, some 13,500 PoS, and a robust online and mobile banking platform.

Soma taarifa hiyo hapa chini:

TAARIFA YA MKUU WA MKOA DAR ES SALAAM KUHUSU TUKIO LA KUSHAMBULIWA KWA AFISA UBALOZI WA SYRIA.

Kama Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Ulinzi na Usalama ya Mkoa wa Dar Es Salaam nimeshtushwa na taarifa zilizosambaa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii kwamba Afisa Ubalozi wa Syria ameshambuliwa na kuporwa kiasi kikubwa cha fedha leo mchana Jijini Dar Es Salaam. Taarifa hiyo imeenda mbali zaidi na kusema kwamba Dar Es Salaam sio salama na kueleza watu wawe makini zaidi.

Nawaomba sana wananchi wa Dar es Salaam muendelee kuwa watulivu na mkielewa kwamba Mkoa wenu ni salama salama sana. Vyombo vya usalama vinalifanyia kazi tukio hili na taarifa za awali nilizopokea zinaonyesha tukio hili linaweza kuwa limepangwa na watu wa ndani. Tunafuatilia zaidi kujua kwa nini Afisa huyo hakuomba ulinzi wa polisi akiwa amebeba kiasi hicho kikubwa cha fedha na pia kwa nini dereva wake amekimbia.

Kwa hali ilivyo mpaka sasa kuna uwezekano ikawa ni tukio la kupangwa na watu wa ndani. Hatutaruhusu watu wachache wachafue taswira ya Mkoa wetu.

Uchunguzi ukifikia sehemu nzuri taarifa rasmi itatolewa na vyombo vyetu vya usalama. Ulinzi na usalama wa wananchi wetu ni muhimu sana.
