NUTELAW Cheers as CDF Turbocharges Tevet Institutions

Former President Mwaba Praises Govt Initiative; Urges Youth to Seize Opportunity

In a dynamic move set to revolutionize technical education, the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) has emerged as a game-changer for Tevet institutions. Former NUTELAW President, Mathews Mwaba, hailed this timely intervention, highlighting its role in empowering these institutions to meet essential statutory obligations.

"This couldn't have come at a better time," Mwaba declared, acknowledging the pivotal boost in liquidity that CDF has injected into Tevet centers. With the shackles of financial constraints loosened, these institutions are now better equipped to fulfill their obligations to bodies like the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) and the National Pension Scheme Authority (NPSA).

Mwaba didn't mince words in commending the government for its foresight in bolstering technical education through CDF allocations. He issued a rallying cry to the youth, urging them to seize the moment and enroll in skills training programs offered by Tevet institutions.

"The government deserves applause for prioritizing technical education," Mwaba emphasized, underlining the potential for significant socio-economic advancement through the development of skilled individuals.

But the call to action doesn't end there. Mwaba urged local leaders, including councillors and community figures, to champion skills training within their communities. Encouraging citizens to embrace these opportunities isn't just about personal growth - it's about turbocharging the region's economic engine.

With CDF as the catalyst, Tevet institutions stand poised to unleash a wave of skilled professionals onto the national stage. The message is clear: the time for action is now.
