The University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) has once again demonstrated its academic excellence after emerging as the leading higher learning institution in Tanzania in the Certified Public Accountant CPA(T) examinations conducted by the National Board of Accountants and Auditors (NBAA) in May 2026.
Leadership should be judged not by the certificates people earn but by the positive impact they create in their institutions and communities, the Deputy Executive Secretary of the National Planning Commission, Dr. Mursali Milanzi, has said.
