SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: NAPSA Director General on Financing the Development of Modern Infrastructure in Higher Education
The Director General of the National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA), Mr. Muyangwa Muyangwa, will feature at the Inaugural Higher Education Indaba 2025 as a panellist in one of the most crucial discussions of the entire event, “Financing the Development of Modern Infrastructure in Higher Education.”
Mr. Muyangwa brings to the table the authority and foresight of an institution that is actively reshaping its investment portfolio through bold Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) and diversified investments across housing, energy, and commercial projects. These moves are not only growing the pension fund but also unlocking opportunities for sustainable national development.
At the Indaba, his insights will show how such models can provide much-needed financing for the construction of student hostels, classrooms, laboratories, and recreational and sports facilities in Zambia’s Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
This discussion is cardinal to the Indaba and the future of Zambia’s higher education sector. It will be enriched by leaders from Zambia’s banking and finance sector and chaired by Professor Edwin Bbenkele, Vice-Chancellor of ZCAS University. Together, they will unpack new strategies to mobilise resources and close the infrastructure gap that has long constrained the expansion and quality of higher education.
