Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo has advised University of Zambia (UNZA) Students to always dialogue with stakeholders in the quest to finding solutions on matters that affect their institution.
Mr. Lusambo explained that it is only through dialogue that challenges affecting UNZA can be resolved.
He said this when he congratulated the new University of Zambia Student Union (UNZASU) in Lusaka yesterday.
ZANIS reports that the Provincial Minister called on the new UNZASU Executive to sensitise fellow students on the need to engage stakeholders in resolving matters at the institution.
Mr. Lusambo said he does expect students to be involved in violence because they are intellectuals who should add value to society.
He further affirmed that the economic development of the nation depends on students adding that, they should not allow politicians to use them.
And the new UNZASU President, Warran Hamusunga said the union will work with the government in ensuring that student’s interest are prioritised.
Mr. Hamusunga also appealed to UNZA management to allow students with outstanding arrears to write their examinations which are expected to start on Monday November 19, 2018.
Congratulations UNZASU
Ba Lusambo please plead on our behalf to the government our children should be allowed to write exams. My son is in final year. Ifintu nafishupa indalama nashishupa. We have not been paid for 10 months.
Oh!, thought UNZASU was banned by PF through her majesty mrs right, professor Kanthu Luo (Icarsa).
Flip flop, in capitulation, common sense has dawned on PF that student unions are vehicles for dialogue with students in Zambia. Students decorum well managed, are acceptable platforms in all progressive (free democracies) countries where students express their views and work with learning institutions to manage effectively student bodies. PF government MUST learn that loss of lives by overzealous PF police cadres and riots at learning institutions would not occur if their is honesty and trust between students and managements of learning institutions.
Wallanism ????????
I like Wallanism. The guy is revolutionary. It’s a wind of change from the usual political infiltrated unionism. Wallanism is neautral.
