Arusha, Tanzania. (News of The South) – Construction of the Pan African Postal Union (PAPU) headquarters building at Sekei ward in Arusha, has kicked-off.

According to Isaac Kamwelwe, the minister of Works, Transport and Communication, the kick-off marked the end of a long wait for the project to commence since Tanzania offered to host the PAPU headquarters over 20 years ago.

“After all the delays, at last we are now clearing the site for the construction of the building that will house the PAPU headquarters.
The offer for land was given to PAPU by Mwalimu Nyerere, but it is in the fifth government phase under President John Magufuli that the handover of the plot and construction takes place,” said the minister.

Beijing Engineering Construction Limited, which is scheduled to carry out the construction of the PAPU headquarters is expected to complete the 17-storey building in 30 months.
