Malawi leader President Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera on Wednesday led Malawians in commemoration of this year’s John Chilembwe Day at Providence Industry Mission (PIM) in Chiradzulu District with a word of encouragement as he vows to uphold Chilembwe’s vision.
Speaking during the service of worship, the Malawi leader encouraged Malawians to pull come in one direction as Chilembwe envisioned and to embrace the spirit of hard work for the country to develop.
“By choosing the word Providence, Chilembwe wanted us to know that we are blessed as country, if our vision is to bring nepotism or violence, then we are not in line with Chilembwe vision,” the Malawi leader said.
Chakwera also said it crucial for the citizenry to reflect on the type of leadership which brings peace as Chilembwe envisioned.
The President adds that this is why three years ago he embarked on a project to build schools of excellence one of those schools is the Chilembwe Schools of Excellence that is going to be built in Chiradzulu looking at Chilembwe as a pioneer of excellence.
“I already approached a group of investors from Italy who are now getting ready to bring the resources necessary for the development of the Chilembwe Schools of Excellence here in Chiradzulu,” he adds
Chakwera noted that Chilembwe believed that the key to national development progress is using education hence the mobilization of resources for the project.
