You don’t find a job for a certain period, your loan gets scrapped off, Mundubile tells university graduates

NRPUP presidential hopeful Brian Mundubile has pledged to write off student loans for graduates who remain unemployed for a specified period, saying the move would ease the burden on young people struggling to find jobs after completing their studies.

Speaking in Solwezi at a rally, Mundubile said the proposal was reached after consultations with his running mate, Makebi Zulu.

He said an NRPUP government would scrap outstanding student loans for graduates who remain unemployed for a certain period after leaving university, giving them “peace of mind.”

Mundubile said his administration would also increase meal allowances for university students to improve their welfare while pursuing their studies.

“So to you students, just know that we are going to adjust the meal allowances. And for student loans, we have sat with the Vice President and we are looking at it.

“Students are having loans without jobs for a long time, so what we have agreed is that if a student stays for a certain period of time after graduating, the pending loan will be scrapped off so that they have a peace of mind,” he said.
