Higher Education Minister Nkandu Luo has threatened that unruly students from institutions of higher learning who will be associated with rioting will now be expelled as opposed to being suspended.

Professor Luo was speaking during the hand-over of the over 1.7 Million Kwacha refurbished Zambia Institute of Business Studies and Industrial Practice -ZIBSIP- student’s hostels in Kitwe today.

She reminded those in student leadership that their role is not to incite students to riot but to look into their welfare.

Professor Luo wondered why some sections of society would criticize her if she decides to take stringent measures against students who last night vandalized the Copperbelt University-CBU Vice Chancellors office.

And the Minister has appreciated the work attitude and culture of the Zambia National Service -ZNS- who upgraded the ZIBSIP students’ hostels.

She noted that the over 1.7 Million Kwacha spent on the project could have cost more than three times higher had Government engaged a private contractor to do the works.

And Acting ZIBSIP Principal Francis Bwalya has announced that the institution which was closed due to the bad state of the student’s hostels will now re-open on the seventh of April, 2019 for those in boarding, while day scholars will report on Monday eight April, 2019.

  1. Rioting will now be expelled as opposed to being suspended-Luo
    Ekwebati shani?
    Is Rioting a student at UNZA? This guy! Now he has been expelled

    • That Luo’s heart is UGLY!!!
      Give Ministry of defense, if you give her Minister of Police Force then Zambians will be refugees to Congo.

    • Nkandu Luo represents Edgar’s government when she speaks, assuming they mean ‘Rioters will be now be expelled’, how can looters expel rioters?

    • If all those entrusted with running the Ministries and higher learning institutions performed their duties diligently, efficiently and competently,who will riot? Answer me iwe na Kadoli.

  2. Nkandu Luo is the cause of the riots in the two big public institutions. Luo has grossly mishandled and mismanaged the two universities with impunity. I wonder why Edgar Lungu does not transfer Luo to another ministry if he doesn’t want to fire her. Luo is a painful thorn in our Zambian education.

  3. Expelled and prosecuted if found wanting should be the course of action for criminality .
    Burning innocent people ‘s cars and public property is a crime and the appropriate law should be applied on the culprits.

    • Remind me when did rioting students at unza or cbu burn innocent or any persons vehicle be it even the police….you have bought into PF fake propaganda

  4. Ba Luo babipa pamenso no mutima. She got free education and she participated in the same riots and other disturbances as a student. Students only riot when the govt is paying a lip service . Failures resort to intimidation, cruelty, threats , character assassinations because the can not reason and comprehend with those with varied knowledge and different views or opinions. Baluo despite of abundance education background, she lacks leadership qualities and the seven characteristics of a leader. MAMA Africa in general is haunted by the educated as the are the most worst thorn in propelling Africa to greater heights.People like Baluo are morally corrupt and incompetent as they do not differentiate knowledge and wisdom. They think education is the beginning and end . Africa twasebana as…

  5. What these leaders forget is that their own grandchildren will pass through the same universities and colleges they are neglecting today. I strongly assume that by that time the current thieving leaders will have their stolen properties forfeited to the state and their children will have nothing. Time to reckon is coming. No matter how long it takes these leaders will pay for their wrongs

  6. SOme times let us look at someones looks before appointing them to higher office, e.g. look at Clinton, then Bush, then Obama, then TRUMP, Then IDI AMIN, compare their looks to their way of management, you shall get the meaning.

  7. Twapapa ba president, tuli panshi yamakasa yenu, bamayo ba Nkandu Luwo, bafumyeniko kuli iyi ministry of higher learning pantu balaonaule shina lyenu. Or just fire this ugly crocodile like woman.
