Higher Education Minister Challenges Youths to come up with Entrepreneurship Ideas

Share

Higher Education Minister Brian Mushimba has challenged youths in Kabwata to come up with entrepreneurship ideas that will contribute positively to the country’s economic growth.

Dr. Mushimba says Government alone cannot manage to employ every Zambian but can assist youths to create employment for others.

He said this in a speech read on his behalf by Director of Planning, Success Mubanga during the official opening of the Kabwata Skills Center.

Meanwhile, Japanese Ambassador to Zambia Ryuta Mizuuchi said Japan will continue working with Zambia to steer economic growth.

Mr. Mizuuchi has also advised the beneficiaries to secure the premises and utilise it to its full capacity.

And Lusaka Mayor Miles Sampa has pledged 50 thousand Kwacha towards activities at the newly opened center.

Mr. Sampa has further pledged to plant 1 hundred trees within the premises to make the environment green and clean.

And a group of Japanese companies working in Zambia donated 92 computers to help the learners with information and communication technology skills

  4. The youths just started a brewery at Mushimba’s Evenly Home College, what did LCC do, said them and shut them down. Wonder what happened with the already ready wine.

  5. Every one cannot be an enterpreneur. What youth need most are opportunities. It’s a sad thing that in a country where almost every province is endowed with one natural resource or another, there are still not enough opportunities for the youth to be productive and earn a decent living. Stop shipping resources out in their crude form, set up manufacturing industries, training centers and incoporate the youth in value addition and macro-economics. Instead of enriching foreign investors, seek foreign expertise to confer to our youths the intellect and competence needed to develop the country’s resources.

  6. The Minister’s statement is similar to asking your kids to come up with ideas on how you should look after them. Most Youths are dependants. What they need is heavy investment in programs which can exploit their potential and prepare them for success. Thats what your job requires you to do Hon. Minister. You need to come up with the ideas and lobby the government to make them a reality. Stop blaming the youths, they do not control public funds, you do, so get on your backside and do some work!

  7. The Minister’s statement is the same as asking your kids to come up with ideas on how you should look after them. Most of these youths are still dependants living at home. It’s your job Hon. Minster to come up with programs that can exploit the talent and shape the future of our youths. If the expectation were that youths came up with ideas, then what’s the point of your ministry? Surely you are just passing the buck on failures by your department. We are sick and tired of ministers barking orders in their confort zones.

  8. This is the mistake PF is making. They think they have made it and that the rest of us are dull and they think they need to tell us what to do.
    Human Intellect is very sophisticated. It thrives when the environment is right! We had more entrepreneurs during Mwanawasa and RB days whose businesses have been destroyed by PF mismanagement! Please find something better to say to Zambians, at least an apology will do!
