COPPERBELT University (CBU) management has awarded academic staff salary increments ranging from 12 to 22 per cent.
This follows the successful signing of the CBU 2014 collective agreement between management and the Copperbelt University Academic Union (CBUAU).
CBUAU general secretary Elaston Njovu who confirmed the development in an interview in Kitwe at the weekend described the signing of the 2014 collective agreement as a landmark achievement.
“Harmonisation was the basis for the CBU 2014 collective bargaining process and under this we were looking at harmonisation of salaries, conditions of service and positions.
“You may wish to know that academic staffs at Copperbelt University were below University of Zambia and Mulungushi University salary scales,” he said.
Mr Njovu said the disparities in the CBU and UNZA academic staff salary scale attracted a percentage demand of 50 per cent and above.
He said in their negotiations, the unions emphasized the need for CBU management to harmonise academic staffs’ salaries in line with Government’s policy.
He said with the successful signing of 2014 collective agreement, CBU
academic staff salaries were now almost the same as those for their
counterparts at UNZA and Mulungushi.
“Despite being lower, we accepted the offer because the union took
into consideration the huge wage bill management will have to sustain
after the recent negotiations,” he said.
He thanked Government for the continued and sustained support to CBU
management in terms of operations and infrastructure development.
I hope this will tranlate into increased productivity at CBU.
This means lecturers can now drink with us at expensive places, take amaule from edinburgh hotel, and teach less because they can now buy plots and start spending time building than lecturing in classs………….

Congrats to CBU academic staff. Now that you have been awarded this increament, pleased be productive and not just making students fail. Some lecturers rejoice in seeing students repeating the same courses all the time. Some lecturers and Senior lecturers for that matter fail even to produce the CAs before sessional exams. Surely, how can a student go in the exam room without even knowing the CA ? This is very common with School of Engineering. Thank GOD one of these so called Senior lecturers has now been restricted interms of lecturing. He become so pompous that he can’t even great students. Some lecturers are just too good and as a student you even feel proud to be taught by them. E.g Mr. Kucheba is a good…
I agree with you student. Some lecturers are to pompous. One imagines whether there are there to lecturer or to worshipped. Just greeting students to some lecturers becomes an insult. Please let us mingle and by doing so students will even be free to consult. Lecturers are there to guide us but you would find that most of these lecturers are not coperative. Thank you CBU for bringing Prof. chirwa as he has brought a number of Changes in the school of engineering. Mr. Kucheba is truly a lecturer and others should emulate him. he’s very committed to duty and those who don’t know him would think he’s difficulty but he’s not. When he lecturers you, you get something for sure. God bless u man KUCHE . We love you. We clap for him.
Congrats CBU Staff. The VC has brought alot of developments at the institution.
I believe the senoir lecturer other students are referring to is BAMBO. He’s just something else; he cannot even greet students and neither does he allow a student to consult him. We need you lecturers for guidance. We welcome prof. Clive Chirwa’s initiatives. THe school of engineering is actually changing for the better.
Very poor reporting. %ages alone mean nothing to readers. 12% of what? what does an increament of 2% translate into. Dig up the numbers pls.
