Nyerere attracted by this kind of foundation and linked it with the desire to bring development to the people. For him, villagelization program became the best way to push forward the development of the newly independent country of Tanzania. This was the vivid example for Nyerere to manifest “Ujamaaism” policy to the world. It is under villagelization program that the praxis of “Ujamaaism” elements was actualized.
