A 23-YEAR-OLD Zambia Centre for Accountancy Studies (ZCAS) student will represent Zambia in Washington on an information technology forum.
Fidelis Chulu, who scooped the global student entrepreneur award (GSEA) for 2014 in Lusaka yesterday, is the third student to represent Zambia in Washington on an entrepreneur’s organisation global competition.
Mr Chulu, who is a member of ZCAS’ national computing council, said he will represent Zambia with an intellectual mind to solicit for more sponsorship in promoting student business ideas.
“Zambia should engage more of such [GSEA] to encourage students in being entrepreneurs so that we can contribute positively to the economy,” Mr Chulu said.
Mr Chulu said young people form the most powerful resources to use for economic and social development.
And Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Authority entrepreneurship development specialist Victor Zumani said youths need to grow in business by engaging in various forums such as the GSEA.
Mr Zumani said young Zambians have the capacity to scale up the business sector by creating jobs for their fellow youths if they are supported.
“Our youths only need to be more innovate and creative to sustain themselves in the business. With entrepreneurship skills, the economy will be dominated by young vibrant youths,” he said.
Well done, Sir. Go forth and do us proud.
