Mozambican Prime Minister Carlos Agostinho do Rosario on Friday challenged the Nachingwea University (UNA) to train cadres distinguished by their high quality.

This university is owned by the ruling Frelimo Party and takes its name from the main political-military centre in southern Tanzania where Frelimo trained its guerrilla army during the war for Mozambique’s independence from Portuguese colonial rule.

“To honour those who liberated our motherland and the most noble values of Mozambican identity, forged in the Nachingwea Politico-Military Training Centre, this university is challenged to outdo itself every day, by training cadres whose quality is outstanding”, Rosario declared.

Speaking in the southern city of Matola, at the university’s second graduation ceremony, Rosario said that the institution’s name is an emblem of the national liberation struggle, and recalled that the slogan of the original Nachingwea centre was “Study, Produce and Combat”.

The Prime Minister added that, “only with highly qualified cadres can we face successfully the challenges of economic and social development imposed on our country”.

He hoped that UNA “will continue to contribute, through scientific research, to the search for concrete solutions to meet the political, economic and socio-cultural challenges of our country”.

“Only with trained human capital can we make our economy robust and thus put Mozambique on the path of socio-economic development”, he declared.

Rosario stressed that the graduates must be prepared to pass through the sieve of the labour market which has become ever more competitive and demanding.

“In the current dynamic of the labour market, the winners are those who show quality, those who are able to apply with creativity what they have learnt, converting the knowledge they have acquired into improving the well-being of society”, Rosario said.

He added that he expected to see all the graduates use science and technology to find innovative solutions for improving the living conditions of Mozambicans. “The knowledge you have acquired is only of value when put at the service of the public’, he stressed.

62 students, 39 of them women, graduated at the Friday ceremony.
