President Rupiah Banda is today expected to travel to Kitwe to officiate at the 54th Copperbelt Mining, Agricultural and Commercial Show.
The president has commended the show organisers for selecting the theme, ‘Prosperity on the Copperbelt’.
According to a statement released by special assistant for Press and public relations Dickson Jere yesterday, Mr Banda said there were many developmental programmes and projects that were underway for the sake of prosperity on the Copperbelt.
“It is indeed fitting to talk about progress towards prosperity in this province and in the nation especially now when we are recording positive economic growth.
“The mining industry has emerged from a difficult period even stronger than it was and with Government support there has been a great inflow of investment into new mines and the expansion of existing ones,” Mr Banda said.
He said other mineral resources such as manganese, oil, uranium and nickel mining activities were being developed while explorations were also underway.
Mr Banda said the country was rich in natural resources and advised Zambians to take advantage of the resources for their own benefit.
And the president who held a one-hour question-and-answer session with journalists at State House used the session to answer questions from the media.
Mr Jere said the sessions would be followed by more similar sessions to enable the Head of State to clarify crucial matters.

MR kamwendo munjila you should also come and open my JOE MBUZI SHOP IT’S DONE WELL SIR
Even The Agriculture Minister can open Mr President
Bafikala fyonse u just get from “Times of Banda” news paper, mulifiwelewele.
Utitlising every event for political campaign. That’s being smart Mr. Presido. Minister of Commerce could have helped undertake this task. Anyway, I can’t blame you, time is running out. You need every single space and opportunity to put across your campaign messages, as am told ZNBC, Times and Daily Mail are not effective
Traditionally the head of state officiates at such functions. Better still, why not travel to see the country and talk to the people?
