President Edgar Lungu says the Honorary Doctorates conferred to him and his Zimbabwean counterpart Emmerson Mnangagwa is challenge for them to provide quality education for the people.
President Lungu said he is honoured by the conferment of the Doctorate.
“I personally, take this honour as a challenge for us to continue providing the kind of leadership which will enable our two great countries move towards prosperity and provide a better life for our people by ensuring that we continue to extend this honour to our people,” President Lungu said.
“We can always honour them by ensuring that access to quality education at primary, secondary and higher education levels is assured for them.”
He said Zambia and Zimbabwe must continue to place emphasis on preparing the youths for the 4th Industrial Revolution, in the education that is provided for them.
President Lungu said the two countries do not want to remain behind.
“I challenge the corporate sector to partner with government and contribute towards infrastructure development at our public education institution
You have failed in person!!!! What is a peace of crap going to help you.
Do you even have a brain?
Looks like Mr Lungu will need a lot of degrees to enable him perform in various sectors. Mr president, how can you achieve this whilst GRZ universities remain closed and academic staff including support staff are not paid on time? Honestly Mr President , one does not need an honorary degree to perform. What the country needs presently is a good driver at the top of GRZ.
God bless Zambia.
just fire Luo and re-open CBU.
mano yakutumpa ayo.
Before we even talk about providing quality education, how about we start with making sure ALL institutions are open first?
TOTALLY ” DISAGREE ” WITH YOU EDGAR LUNGU. ITS A SHALLOW STATEMENT!!
++++ HOW MANY OF THESE WILL YOU NEED TO SORT OUT OUR CHALLENGES
JUST HOW IS THAT GOING TO HELP OR CHALLENGE YOU TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS
ITS AN INSULT TO THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF ZAMBIA AND TO THE GRADUATES UNEMPLOYED IN ZAMBIA
MNANGAGWA COULD NOT GET ONE FROM ZIMBABWE BECAUSE HE IS A MASS MURDERER. NO UNIVERSITY CAN HONOR HIM SUCH DOCTORATE.

Like @ JAY JAY said not too long ago. You are an Intelligent very Analytic guy. Just jump the so called PF Boat and be with UPND. You can see for yourself that ECL is a bum and shallow. We are not tribalist my man.
Missionary @ 1.5
I am not and have never been PF.
I am Independent just like my PSEUDONYM name says. Thank you, but No Thanks !!
ECL is human. He will make mistakes and when he does, we will raise a point of order.
HH is human and will make mistakes.
++ Its not easy being a politician and say something correct and appetising all the time. Its tough for both these guys ECL and HH.++
You dont kick your wife/husband or children out for making mistakes. You alert them so that they can learn.
Unless if your (wife or husband)- bangs your neighbour, best friend or the boss at work. Then that calls for something…
Enjoy the evening!
I am humans, it’s ok for me to make mistakes
Who the f::k said being human is an excuse to make mistakes?
Get outta here!
The guy is a num ! Period. No level of education accolades will save him from his buffoonery.
1.7 Pimbilimmo
You dirty d*ck. Show me a person who never mistakes. To the look of things it appears like your father made a mistake to impregnate your mother. Just how many times has your HH said stup1d and f00lish things. Is not the uselessness that keeps stopping him from becoming a president. Go to hell your bitter and angry losers.
1.7 Pimbilimmo
You tribalist. You think 3 provinces will win you state house. Politics is anout numbers. And your HH being a numbers man fails to calculate a winning formula. You f*ckers
Jesus Christ is missing on those pictures. He should have been in the middle.
Thanks Y.E Dr. ECL, POTROZ and CICOTAFs, SC.
Read this as:
Thank you Your Excellency Doctor Edgar Chagwa Lungu, President of the Republic of Zambia and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, State Counsel
Current occupier of red brick, endorsed by the elite people of this beautiful country.
It’s loud & clear.
This double h doesn’t have to become.
Maybe you can start by re-opening CBU and re-instating meal allowances for one of the two top University in Zambia.
He thinks he is at a PF rally where you shout in silly utterances to drunkards
This is as low as gets.
Watch “Tajamuka 1 July 2019 National Shutdown Press Statement” on YouTube
Surely does this bum Edgar read the speeches a day before the event…he is too busy running away from the office to read anything…I mean what quality education can you provide when lecturers are not being paid (since January). Really laughable he is challenging the corporate sector to partner with his crooked govt…
Its true the corporate sector should contribute to infrastructure development, show me which capitalist state has developed without some muscle from private institutions. PPP(public private partnership). Kateka is on point with that statement.
Middle ^)^) – yo want the corporate sector to assist with building clinics you want corporate sector to build universities when you can not even properly rehabilitate UNZA and CBU…you can not even make up your mind about which tax system to deploy this brings uncertainty, you have increased the cost of doing business in Zambia…these corporate sector pay tax what do you do with it? You pay expensive $50 million Jets to fly to CBU with.
Tax is mandatory bwana and it can’t cover for all national expenses given that majority our tax purse comes from one sector in our country. The model of development in the west is the corporate entities working in tandem with government to build infrastructure especially in the education sector. Show me which of the greedy conglomerates you habor in Zambia has much built a student dormitory on our college campuses. Carnegie steel filled USA with libraries and the famed carnegie hall in NYC. Get it?
middle kingdom – Have you lived in the West before? I highly doubt …Andrew Carnegie the industrialist was a philanthropist he would have left all his wealth to his family if he wanted…you people just post things without any critical thinking…in the west govts deliver if they don’t they are kicked out..please dont be misled by an utterly lazy bum like Edgar who has zero vision
A earth worm was also thinking that one day it will evolve and become an an animal.
A earth worm was also thinking that one day it will evolve and become an an animal to challenge all those creatures that have tramping on it.
Awe aba bapuba, no need to say more.
This man is so daft that he assumes that when you are rewarded for something you dont serve you will be challenged to perform…its no wonder he tolerates mediocrity from his ministers…those who enjoy praying please pray for our country under this workshy bum Edgar…for him the week is almost complete he has done his best to stay away from the office.
Yes yes my President chikonko mwikate a lot of bloggers like Jay Jay and his UPND friends will die from jealous, put your eye on the North Star and figure out what is keeping you stranded and full of insults and negatives. The bottom line is you are shaping your own by the payoffs you are getting in life.
Pio”, no doubt that chaps like you, where always coming out behind other in class, and that has evolves to being blind with reality.
This man doesn’t even know why he is being honored..UNZA say because of his good governance …really laughable….honestly why should I be jealous I have more degrees than Lazy Edgar how can I be jealous of an honorary degree.
Congratulations Dr ECl
A whole lot of dung, this is.
Where is the Report on the Mapenzi murder?
Congratulations Mr President!
You deserve this honour because of your honesty and sincererity. You told the nation you had no vision but we refused to believe you! You have therefore proved beyond doubt that you are a man of your word! Congratulations once again!!!
Now he has been honored he will suddenly be challenged in his 5th year as President of Zambia…in 2021 CBU should honor him again to challenge him more!!
Lol!
CONGRATULATIONS YOUR EXCELLENCY. YOUR YEARS IN THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT ZAMBIA IS BETTER THAN ANY DISSERTATION YOU COULD HAVE WRITTEN!
WELL DESERVED. YOUR COUNTRY HAS CHOSEN TO BATHE YOU IN HONOUR FOR YOUR DUTY TO THE COUNTRY. GREAT SON OF THE SOIL.
GOD BLESSED, FAVOURED AND APPOINTED. MAY HOUR EVERY STEP BE GUIDED. AMEN!
That’s because he has no vision for a dissertation title.
Mental patient abroad just like this joker you are congratulating.
Jay Jay… please seek help and find something to do in life. Surely you cannot spend every day calling people names. Do you ever have a peaceful day ?
Go to Kanyama and ask a child there whether they have a day when they have three full meals in a day!!
Thanks for that degree.under your regime we have seen people being killed, tribalism and corruption . thanks uza management for doing wrong things.
much has been said its clear. open the universities at once its the begining of good quality education and start paying retirees and and give much support to the people who gave you the fake honouraly.
Every time this mambala opens his mouth kiza bukuba feela ze pundumuka mwa mulomo wahae! Mina muli ki kuzizilika feela ko, bamu loile yena sanganu yo! Konji kuyo biza bo Green Kanjangu batomu ungekela ngoma tuna, wa kula mutu!
C C best comment ever
This president is better when he zips his mouth! How can an honorary doctorate make him perform? The only thing an honorary doctorate will do is bore ZNBC News listeners with Dr Lungu this, Dr Lungu that….. for every useless act, including directionless trips. UNZA has really demonstrated the level of mediocrity it has sank to with this honorary doctorate. Whatever sin Zambians committed to deserve this level of low calibre of political leaders at a time of maximum economic challenges is HUGE! God help us!
Good to see Mnangagwa without that damn scarf, I hope he’ll ditch it forever .
