President Lazarus Chakwera has challenged the graduates of Mzuzu University (Mzuni) to turn their minds towards the study and mastery of the national development blueprint Vision 2063, which succeeded Vision 202.

Chakwera was speaking when he presided over the first congregation as Chancellor of Mzuzu University which was held virtually on Friday.
The vision, dubbed MW2063, is an aspiration and a successor to Vision 2020 which sought to make Malawi secure, democratically mature, environmentally sustainable and self-reliant with equal opportunities for and active participation by all.
The crafters of MW2063 envisage Malawi using lessons learned in the Vision 2020 in propelling the country forward. The long-term goals are part of the global developmental framework and anchored “to the global Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs], including their variants moving forward; the continental Agenda 2063 that defines the Africa we want, and the strategies of the Regional Economic Communities to which [Malawi] belongs.”
