Zanzibar — PRESIDENT Ali Mohamed Shein called upon graduates from the Institute of Public Administration and Management (IPAM) to make difference in service delivery in the islands currently in need of improved services.

"The institute is important in shaping and building people towards good leadership, accountability and responsibility. Let us use the institute and practise what we learn for the benefit of the people," Shein said after he cut the ribbon to open the new IPAM building at Tunguu, South Unguja.

The function was among several events to mark the 49th anniversary celebrations of the Zanzibar Revolution, to climax on January 12, this year in Zanzibar.
