LUANAR Vice-Chancellor, Professor Emmanuel Kaunda expressed gratitude that the agreement will spur positive growth of the institution from the cordial relationship between the two entities.<\/p>\n

\u201cLUANAR is also celebrating 10 years of operations, just as CDH Investment Bank and we could not think of a better way to celebrate besides partnering to address the three initiatives,\u201d Kaunda said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLUANAR is passionate about its initiatives that will provide the university with its sustainable activities. The contribution will help to enhance delivery of a variety of projects at the institution.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that through the tree-planting, the innovation challenge and scholarships initiatives, LUANAR is aligning itself with the MW2063 development blueprint and therefore, the contribution is a catalyst for achieving objectives of the plan. The Vice-Chancellor assured the bank of the safety and accountability of the funds at the institution.<\/p>\n
