THE infrastructure development that President Edgar Lungu is implementing across the country are key to economic growth, students from higher learning of institution have said.
Commenting on the recently commissioned Arcades Flyover Bridge, national students’ mobilisation coordinator, Ibrahim Mwamba, hailed the President for the project saying it would spur economic development.
Mr Mwamba, who was flanked by students from the University of Zambia, paid gratitude to President Lungu for ensuring various projects became reality.
He stated that the projects would have positive impact on all the Zambians including the students.
Mr Mwamba, however, appealed to the Head of State to help in securing part time jobs for the students at East Park Mall as a way of financially helping them.
He explained that since the mall was just within the vicinity of the university of Zambia, it would be ideal and of great help to employ some students on part time basis.
“The students are also appealing to management at the University of Zambia and Copperbelt University to clear any allowances owed to the lecturers so as to create a conducive learning and teaching environment in these public universities,” he said.
Mr Mwamba emphasised that the well-being of the teaching staff had a direct bearing on the students hence the need for immediate action concerning the matter.
