COPPERBELT University (CBU) in Kitwe has launched construction of a 1,000-seater auditorium at K8 million.
CBU vice-chancellor Imasiku Nyambe says building of the auditorium is a milestone as it will enhance infrastructure and the learning environment at the higher learning institution.
He said once finished, the auditorium will host academic conferences and seminars and will help position CBU as a destination of choice for students in Zambia and beyond.
Prof Nyambe said the university management has raised K1.5 million and hopes to earn the balance from partners through the CBU challenge, which is expected to be launched on Thursday by President Hakainde Hichilema.
The initiative seeks to raise at least K20 million from stakeholders who include the university’s alumni and corporate world.
And Kitwe Mayor Mpasa Mwaya said construction of an auditorium is a bold step to improve infrastructure and create a conducive learning and teaching environment.
Copperbelt University Student’s Union (COBUSU) president Edgar Chiingu said the auditorium will ease learning space challenges, especially by first and second-year students. https://enews.daily-mail.co.zm/
