Government has called for more investment from both local and foreign investors into Northern province order to accelerate economic activities in the province.
Northern province assistant secretary Micah Zyambo made the call when she officially
opened the Celtel Zambia. shop in Kasama over the weekend.
Ms. Zyambo said there was need for the business community to be more innovative by
coming up with viable projects which will stimulate development in the province.
She noted that Northern province has the potential of becoming the grain basket of
the country if there was more investment in the agriculture sector as the province
was endowed with vast arable land and water resources.
Ms. Zyambo commended Celtel Zambia for connecting all the 72 districts of the
country with its mobile communication network.
She noted that Celtel’s opening of a shop in Kasama will help create employment for
the locals.
And Celtel Zambia sales director Amon Jere said his company spent about US$150,000
to set up the customer shop in Kasama.
Mr Jere added that Celtel believes in effective communication to accelerate national
development hence its decision to open shops in provincial towns to make its service
available to the community.
This is great progress for kasama. It hurts to see Kasama deteriorate. What i would advise the assistant secretary and the Permanent secretary for Northern Province is to come up with a position paper on the areas of investment in the Province and the willingness to lease land for infrastructure development to would be investors. Commencial farmers willing to invest in Northen province should particularly be given support not just through speaches but by putting in place a deliberate committee and plan to oversee this.
For any proper development,road network plays an important role.Northern has vast resources un tapped.if the infrastructure improves Northern will be the backbone of Zed. The also so deposits of minerals and other natural resources that can attract investors.Its’ just a question of time. Some pipo may think I’m just hallucinating about this in chief Kaoma they are precious minerals. I have jst bought a metal detector.Bajoze I need you brains over this matter,
It is high time Government set up investment companies in each province. These would solely focus on luring investors in respective provinces
its a pity really. The bembas are well known for their business acumen throughout zambia (they are now speaking bemba in Western province!) however ku mushi things are still bad. regarding the metal detector for chitoba, i think that may be a bad investment as you can only detect metals and only to a limited depth! My father chiluba disappointed us instead of investing ku mushi he was investing in himself. Cant we form a northern Province development initiative among the bembas? come on guys we can do it! instead of waiting for another 4 years when bashikula sata bakateka!
Castrol #4, you must a tribalist. You are the living legacy of your father FTJ. Bye meet me on the other blogs.
go into the remotest arears as well
#4 {Castro chiluba (Son)}: Having tribal thinkers like you on this blog is an embarrassment! Are you the real Castro Chiluba? If so, not surprising: you will do anything to appeal to the tribe to run away from your father’s sins. Please leave respected Bembas out of your sick schemes. We are all Zambians, period.
