Lecturers and academic staff at the Copperbelt University- CBU- have downed tools demanding for the removal of their Vice Chancellor Professor Naison Ngoma and the entire CBU management.

The lecturers have passed a vote of no confidence in Professor Ngoma whom they have accused of lacking academic focus.

 

Speaking at a media briefing in Kitwe on Wednesday, Copperbelt University Academics Union President Mwiya Songolo says the CBU academic staff are demanding for the resignation of Professor Ngoma.

Mr Songolo further called on Government to audit CBU.
