  • Cameroon:  University of Bamenda Goes Operational

    • University of Bamenda Goes Operational University of Bamenda Goes Operational


    • Higher Education Minister has put in place modalities for the newly created State University of Bamenda to go operational.



      Following the signing on Tuesday December 14, 2010 of a decree by the Head of State creating the University of Bamenda and another stipulating the various departments of the university, the Minister of Higher Education, Jacques Fame Ndongo immediately issued a decision that renders the new university functional. The minister's move (see entire text in the column) is to create conditions that permit the university to start operating pending the appointment, by the Head of State, of those who will run it affairs.

      By designating those who will handle the day-to-day matters of the Advanced Teachers Training College and the Advanced Technical Teachers Training College Bamenda in Bambili, the Minister is out to ensure that since there already exists basic infrastructure that can enable the Head of State's promise to be made concrete, there is no need waiting any longer. Thus, once President Paul Biya appoints those who will manage the university, they will not have to begin from a virgin ground. Their task will mostly be to complete the expansion of the university by indicating further avenues of growth. In an interview with Cameroon Tribune, the Minister of Higher Education explains government's plans on rendering the University of Bamenda fully operational.

thanks for this opportunity and thank the head of state for creating a state university in bamenda. creating it on a text was not a problem, but i think siting it is a big problem. why still in bambili? i do believe if only the faculty of education in bambili, then fine. they are other parts of the north west that can accommodate this university. i do suspect mbengwi with vast land and many accommodation structures and also closer to the main town bamenda..pls help me tell mr biya that let those who think they can use the name of politics or cpdm to manipulate him cos only them will stand against him tomorrow.

the creation of University in Bamenda does not mean anything. It is the responsiblity of any government to ensure that eduaction is accessibble to all it citizens. Education is the gateway to povery alleviation. The Cameroon government is the only government on earth that does not invest in human capital development. The state of development of Cameroon has not changed since independent because the government has failed to recognise the need to improve its institutions. France has been behind the worst governance taking place in Cameroon and other french speaking African countries. I think cameroonian must all stand up and tell France to leave Cameroon in peace. The Best cameroon can do well is corruption rank first in the world. Student study with no financial assistance and no research support to encourage reseach and development.

my comment toward the creating a university in Bamenda is a good ideal,but my problem is why a very a long time,dont ask me.further more why in bambili,i think cameroon is a big country with those who study economic development,i taught before the creating a university,they should be consulted to tell us underdeveloped places which has to developed.Dont ask me to contiue but think of developing cameroon,further am a student at the bamenda university of sciences and technology (BUST)STUDING AGRONOMY AND SOIL SCIENCES
