Scandal at UBa; Land Grabbing VC, Prof. AKenji Dares Mayor Tanjong, Over Land in the Municipality

 

-Charges Mayor for Outright Trespass into University Land

-Building Market Sheds inside University Campus

-Questions the Authority of Tubah Population Over the Usage of their Own Land

The VC Chancellor of the University of Bamenda Prof. Theresa Nkuo who doubles as Ex- Cameroon CWA chairlady for your attention stepped on the toes of Tubah Mayor last week and by extension spoiled working relation with Elites of the said Sub-Division and the Population of the four villages that make up Tubah( Bambui, Bambili, Kedjum Keku, Kedjum Ketingoh).

Prof. Theresa Nkuo Akenji VC Chancellor University of Bamenda

Crooks of the Matter;

She complained to the Prime Minister, through the DO of Tubah, and the SDO of Mezam accusing Mayor Tanjong Martin of Tubah Council for building market sheds inside University Land and for disturbing the quiet studying environment of students. Which according to the Mayor are false accusations and blatant lies meant to tarnish the hard earned reputation of the Mayor who has been working day and night to face lift his municipality and to create a quiet comfortable study environment for the students and a suiting habitat for all.

Reaction of the Mayor:

As a patriotic Cameroonian, a resident Mayor, with all the risks involved, the Lord Mayor of Tubah Council Tanjong Martin responding to the VC Chancellor of the University of Bamenda Prof Theresa NKuo who by passed her person and went as far as framing him up to the Prime Minister, called a press conference on Tuesday the 26th of April 2022 and exploded.

In anger and firm terms, the Mayor expressed surprise about the VC’s behavior and false accusations. Denying that he is not building the 34 market sheds authorized by a whole Regional follow up commission in  the University Campus. A project he emphasized was almost a kilometer away from the University Campus and belt in conformity with the law.

The Mayor questioned what moral authority the VC had over land and the exploitation of land in his municipality knowing very well how the Mayor personally fought to secure study space for students at Mushong Mabuh and CCAST Bambili in the then days of students explosion, not to talk of the main access, and second access roads to the University, water and other social amenities.

To the Mayor, all these sacrifices to the University for all this while has meant nothing to the VC Chancellor. What interest the VC is her Land not the land of the people of Tubah she came and met until she is now questioning the authority of the same people who voluntarily gave her the land.

Ending the press briefing that took Media men and women to the site, he appealed to the high powers that be that in the event of appointing officials to head institutions in the University of Bamenda, the government should consider appointing sons and daughters of the soil who  will governe and administer with the fear of the Lord and the people, not greedy and out rightly pompous individuals.

What the VC’s False accusations has provoked and landed her into;

Not only has her false accusations meted on the Mayor entangled her in a mess, but in a deep pit. The issue at stake, has come to completely spoil her working relation with the council, elites of Tubah, the authorities in place and by extension the population who are already clamoring for her sacking.

From all indication, the bad steps she took, misled by the Director of NAHPI Prof. Fidelis Cho-Ngwa was biting more than she can swallow and stepping on the toes of a lion.  

Where she is, it is obvious, she will be summoned in the days ahead for serious questioning and the public should not be surprised if the elites gang up or team up against her. Petitions and joint motions calling on her sacking should normally be in the offing and in the course, quite a lot will be brought to the lime light about her mal-gestion for the past years all because she dared Tanjong a fearless son of the soil of Tubah.

Land and tradition in the North West

Women, by their very nature are not supposed to talk about land according to grass field tradition. And in no occasion does an individual dispute land with the givers and the owners. Which is the case today with Akenji and the people of Tubah who willfully and freely gave all their land to the University and she has put them to questioning today. Going as far as disputing land with the Landlord means Akenji mean business up at UBa.

The Future

There is no future as bleak and blear as the one lying ahead of the VC because she has challenged the last person who stood by her in Tubah, just by that simple error, she should be ready to face all the elites of Tubah because they are not people to tamper with. In fact the gods of Tubah has blindfolded Ma Akenji into an irrational decision, and plunged her into a deep blue sea.

Finally, the Akenji Era at the Helm of UBa

Tongues are still wagging and lot has been said about the lady in question and her administration self imposed on the University community of UBa by Yang.

What UBa has suffered in her hands, from public opinion is worst than the days of Prof Tafah Edokatt as VC. Affairs a suivre…..
