On the 26th of march 2005, a privately owned open university was officially launched by his Excellency the President of the Republic of Zambia Mr. Levy Patrick Mwanawasa S.C. Among those in attendance were the first lady Mrs. Maureen Mwanawasa, former Education Minister honorable Andrew Mulenga, Mr. John Mwanakatwe, UNZA vice Chancellor Professor Serpell, cabinet Ministers, diplomats, management, board of directors, students and staff of the open university and other prominent people too numerous to mention. I happened to be one of the invited guests and thus had a rare opportunity of being part of the celebrations held at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre. |
