The university was established as an initiative of Mr. Vernon Chilimunda in 2011. The idea was born from an experience in China during a short post-graduate course, after interacting with intellectuals from twenty six countries across continents in 2009.
Professor Chondoka, the Late Professor Ngwisha, Professor Dickson Mwansa, Dr. Peter Machungwa, Dr. Allan Lingambe and Dr. Dominic Nalishebo Nyambe are among names of academicians here in Zambia that was instrumental to the actualization of the concept West East University.
