The newly
installed Vice Chancellor Prof. Theresia Kuo Akenji on the 14 of December 2015 at
the Asanji Hall most highly acclaimed and celebrated by the people of the North
West after all the odds or the audiles “the baby Child University of the Future”
underwent in the trust stewardship of Prof. Tafah Edokat Edward, has received a
tornado of appraisal from the Fons and Elite of the North West Region most
entirely.
Promising her first
the supreme benedictions of the gods and the protections of the ancestors of
the land. This, each of the four Fons of Tubah (of Bambui, Bambili, Kedjum Keku
and Ketingoh) together with their counterpart Fons of other villages in the Region
observed, promising her their absolute loyalty and trust to enable her exact
the daunting task placed at her disposal with all judiciousness and meticulousness
needed.
This attitude of
the populations goes without gain saying any longer that the people were only
happy for the tears the Head of State President Paul Biya wiped from their
faces after all the odds that had characterized the University instituted there
in by the eroded regime. Likened by the population “as people who never had the
interest of the university at heart, better still upholders of egoism”.
Out of too much
excitement, this visibly elated population of the North West also cautions the
New Vice-Chancellor to use her clear voiyance to flush out, if not take special
care and attention on those mercenaries within, still loyal to the fallen
regime with intension to ruin her government and mare her smooth transparent
governance plan.
The University
of Bamenda since creation in 2010\2011 had known no peace to name; the
consistent student strikes, entrance exams wahala, conflict amongst lecturers,
infrastructural problem, recruitments, decentralization of faculties and the
movement of the Chancellery to Bamendankwe saga etc.
With all these
troubles, the prayers of the people rest on the shoulders of “a much needed change of leadership rule and
governance most especially as the outgun Vice Chancellor blundered a lot in his
last days in office before he was sacked.
Sacked for good
to regain his class room Lecturer post in the University of Yde II Soa and not
the University of Dschang where he was appointed Dean of the Faculty of
Economic and management science. “That serves him right” are words uttered
everywhere by all celebrating tongue most especially contractors and poor
parents who saw their hopes dashed to the wall with the cut throat fees they
had to pay to enroll and have their children study in a University that was
given to the people of the North West as a gift by President Paul Biya which
was later painted by the said, to look like a poisoned gift.
Only God knows
what awaits those who want all for themselves and careless of others, the baby
Child University, flaring tongues argue was not meant to be shared like
groundnut or scattered all over the Region without haven’t had its roots deeply
rooted in the ground. Now that a new vice Chancellor has been appointed most
especially a woman product of an American University there is high need and
reason for the people of this blessed Region of Cameroon to celebrate.
Reasons why the
people of the North West Region has pledge their absolute loyalty and
unflinching support to the New Vice Chancellor whose appointment was not
influenced but motivated by merit and is not likely supposed to be subjected to
any unnecessary pressure or unaligned influence.
The future is
bright so say parents who throw flowers in the air in favor of Prof. Theresa
Akenji that she must succeed by virtue of the fact that she is sitting on one
of the fundamental pillars of the Roman Catholic Church national President of
the CWA Catholic Women’s Association so no weapon fashion against her shall
prosper.
As a sound note
to detractors, they shall wait and labour in vain to see the downfall of Prof.
Theresia Akenji’s regime “she is a Square peck in a Square hole, she sizes the
cap, the future for the university of Bamenda is bright with Prof Theresia
Akenji” says one renown North West Fon “These good governing qualities of hers
was already noticed on how she chaired her first ever Senate meeting at UBa mid
last December 2015 and the fact that she has ordered all support staff to
reapply in order that she sifters ghost workers draining the university finance
for nothing. We like her, God being her helper she must succeed” .
All these
showered accolades onto the new Vice Chancellor Prof Teresia Akenji by the
heavily elated population of the North West Region, does not go without also
recognizing and appreciating the efforts of Prof. Tafah Edokat Pioneer VC in
nursing and breastfeeding the University of Bamenda to where it is. To start
from nowhere to somewhere is something commendable, it normally hard to
accommodate by the heavily vexed population of the North but in all Prof Tafah
at least tried her best. To head a university in a controversial town like
Bamenda, seat of the opposition full of petition writing, blackmail,
backstabbing, witch-hunting and outright pressure from above is not given to
any one.
What the future
holds for Prof. Tafah only God Knows as his detractors pray and fast for the
racket steering committee to hook him. Close aids and family members pray God
to give their brother\father\friend the much needed energy to accommodate all
the persecution after all he put in at the University of Bamenda. After
everything, living all to God, they must always say, but the big question is,
why must they say only negative things? Only Prof. Tafah and the God he serves
knows what awaits him. This right thinking analyst exclaim “in life there is time
in time out, people come and go institutions remain so nobody should carry an
appointment on his head at the mercy of laid down rules governing functions and
exercise of power for you will only find yourself wanting at the end”.
