Happy Nyerere Day from APSP — Honoring Integrity, Service and Leadership

Celebrating the Legacy of Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere

Every October 14, Tanzania pauses to honor the life and legacy of Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, the Father of the Nation. His unwavering commitment to integrity, unity, and service to the people remains a guiding light for our nation’s growth and for every professional striving to serve with purpose.

At the Association of Procurement and Supplies Professionals of Tanzania (APSP), we proudly uphold these same values — ensuring that ethics, transparency, and accountability remain at the heart of our profession. Mwalimu taught us that true development begins with honesty and responsibility, and these ideals continue to shape how procurement and supply professionals contribute to Tanzania’s progress.

Integrity in Action

Procurement is more than a process — it’s a promise to the public. Every decision made by procurement professionals impacts the nation’s economy, trust, and development.
That’s why APSP is committed to empowering its members with the skills, knowledge, and ethical standards that reflect Mwalimu’s vision of fairness, self-reliance, and justice.

“A nation without values cannot prosper — and a profession without ethics cannot serve.”
— Inspired by Mwalimu Julius K. Nyerere

Carrying the Torch Forward

As we commemorate Nyerere Day, APSP calls upon all procurement and supply professionals to emulate Mwalimu’s enduring values — to serve with integrity, transparency, and patriotism.
Together, let us continue building a Tanzania that thrives on ethical leadership and professional excellence.
