Chief Chisunka of the Ushi people of Mansa district has offered land to the Ministry of Education for construction of the proposed Luapula University.

Speaking to ZANIS in a telephone interview in Mansa today, chief Chisunka said he is ready to give out 30 hectors of land in his chiefdom about 40 kilometres from Mansa Town where the newly announced university could be built.

In July, this year, President Michael Sata announced the establishment of a university in Luapula Province to be called Luapula University.

Chief Chisunka observed that erecting a university outside Mansa Town would reduce congestion in the fast growing town and prevent the students from riotous behaviour.

He said he has vast land which would accommodate all the required infrastructure of the university and has since called on the Ministry of Education to call on him and chat the way forward.

The Chief lamented that it has taken time for stakeholders to swing into action since the President announced the establishment of Luapula University.
