CBU remains closed, says Malanji
By Staff Reporter
Kwacha PF member of parliament Joe Malanji says the Copperbelt University will only re-open once health authorities are satisfied with sanitary conditions at the institution.
Malanji, who is also Foreign Affairs minister, said re-opening the public university in the wake of various sanitary concerns would be premature, especially with the outbreak of cholera.
Malanji said this after donating assorted items to the institution worth about k150, 000.
“Authorities are determined to ensure all sanitary conditions and gaps at the university are addressed before it opens its doors to students. All stakeholders want to see current works on the ablution blocks at the Jambo drive campus advance smoothly,” said Malanji.
“This is because government considers education as a key fundamental ingredient to national development.”
And CBU Deputy Vice Chancellor Shaderick Chama thanked Malanji for his donation.
“The donation, coupled with the workmanship by the Zambia Army, will speed up works on the upgrading of sanitary conditions at the higher learning institution,” said Chama.
