Northern Province Residential School officially opened by Mr. Lewis Mwape Deputy Permanent Secretary

Yesterday, we officiated at the official opening of Residential Classes for ICOF-GRZ Sponsored Students on various skills and academic courses. Residential Classes are taking place at Kasama Girls (Northern University) Secondary School. Look at these ....More than 600 Students have so far reported for a Residential Session! I thought to myself; "All these could have been doing nothing in our respective villages across the Province!"

You cannot talk about ending Youth unemployment without investing in Education and Skills Development!! Bally is investment in the Future!! The New Dawn Administration under the Leadership of His Excellency President of the Republic of Zambia Mr Hakainde Hichilema places high premium on Human Capital Development and Job Creation especially for women and the Youth!! Government in partnership with ICOF Colleges Seminary and Universities a Christian institution of learning are sponsoring about 5000 Students per year for the next five year for Diploma Programs and for Northern Province over 1000 are on the Program.

About 12,000, Young people have been earmarked for sponsorship under these programs since last year when the program was launched by Hon Elvis Nkandu Minister of Sport Youth and Arts.

This will take on about 25,000 Young people over the period of 5 years. We encouraged the students to work hard and take Government support very serious. REMEMBER: I AM HERE TO DO

THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT ME!
