In
this context, we, at the University of
Bamenda can only hope to derive
maximum benefit from Prof. Zé Amvela’s rich and varied experience not only in
English Language teaching where he excels, but also in good governance at the University of Bamenda.
Yesterday,
he was pioneer at the University
of Buea. Today, he is pioneer at the University of Bamenda. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s welcome Prof. Zé
Amvela with a big round of applause.
Prof.
Fritz Ndiva Mbua, Deputy
Vice Chancellor in charge of Research Cooperation and Relations with the
Business world, previously Vice Dean in charge of Students Affairs in the
Faculty of Education of the University
of Buea, is an
accomplished scholar with several publications.
Redoubtable for programs in education.
Specialist in Educational foundation and Administration. He is one of those who is merely coming back
home after several years of teaching in the Department of Science of Education
of former ENSAB. He should know that the
house has out grown the proportion he left in the mid nineties. Above all, he will be in charge of giving the
university its most conspicuous visibility through research and
publications. By dint of his office, he
shall be the ambassador ple-ni-po-ten-tiary who will carry the image of the
University out, win cooperation ties and insert it in the business world.
Prof.
Dashaco John Tambutoh, Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Internal Control and Evaluation, previously serving in the University of Yaounde II Soa as Vice Dean in charge of
Research and Cooperation in the Faculty of Law and Political Science is
specialist in intellectual Property right law.
He is young and dynamic. We shall
expect him to use his much grounded
legal background and his wealth of administrative experience to promote good
governance, ensure the respect for rules and regulations governing university
functioning and stage an aggressive fight against bribery, corruption and
embezzlement. As the man in charge of
internal control and evaluation, the image of the university in all its forms
will rest in his sphere of influence.
The dimensions to improve academic, managerial quality and heuristics
will depend on him.
Prof.
Mbofung Carl Moses Funtong, Registrar, has been a long serving Director at the Advanced
Institute of Agro-Industrial Sciences in Ngoundere. You will be one of the central arteries of
the university. You have to assist the
Vice Chancellor in the day-to-day running of the university other than those
functions performed by the Deputy Vice chancellors, the Bursa and Chief librarian. You shall also be the secretary of the Senate
and Council and ensure that the policies and decisions of the aforementioned
organs are implemented. We count on you
for the smooth functioning of the central administration.
To
these very close collaborators are a technical adviser, Directors and a Dean.
Prof.
Tang Alice, Technical
adviser, will be the brain of the system. She will be thinking and strategizing
for the system. We look forward to your
innovative ideas to put to action.
Dr. Jua Rosaline, Director of Academic Affairs,
will be expected to bring to UBa the academic experience of the University of Buea
and to imitate actions that will make UBa the referral source of science and
technology in sub-Saharan Africa.
Mr. SOyang Evaristus, Director of Administrative
Affairs is an experienced Senior Treasury Inspector and administrator trained
at ENAM. He previously served at the
Ministry of Finance. He will be expected
to give administrative assistance to the Registrar especially in matters of
resource management, formulation and interpretation of legal texts and
litigations.
Mr.
Mboh Patrice Lumumba,
Director of Financial Affairs (Bursar), is Senior Treasury Inspector
with a long standing experience in the university financial economy. Before moving to the Ministry of Finance, he
served for about nine years as the Accounting Officer of the University of Dschang. You are coming in at a time of budget
constraints and unpaid bills. Difficult
as this may be, we count on the financial expertise you incarnate to expedite
the financial drawbacks we are facing in UBa.
Prof. Galega Sangena, Director of Students Affairs, you
shall be dealing directly with the constituency of people who justify our
mission in the University. As the
custodian of this very precious group, we shall expect you to chart actions
that will keep the students comfortable and spirited. Do well to put all the necessary safeguards
against students’ discontents and strikes.
Ensure that the Divisions of housing and catering, sports and
recreation, admissions and records and Health should be put to the best
advantage of the students of the University.
We equally challenge you to begin preparations for the next university
games in Ngoundere for the university looks forward of being the best in 2013.
Prof. Petang Chrispin, Director of Development, Physical
Plant and Infrastructure is not a new name in Bambili. He was formerly occupying the same office in
the University of
Yaounde I to which ENS
Bambili was attached. He is the brain
behind the new structures, from the two pedagogic blocs to all the latest
constructions going at the moment on this campus. It’s my guess that the President of the
Republic sent him to complete the commendable job he started. We shall expect you to build on this
reputation but above all to conceive and design within the quickest possible
time infrastructural projects to accommodate the needs of teaching, training,
administration and leisure.
Prof.
Lukong Conelius Fai, Director
of HTTC Bamenda in Bambili, formerly Head of Division of University
Cooperation in the University
of Dschang, is also not a
new name in UBa and to the institution he is taking office. As former head of
Department of Physics, he knows precisely where he is heading to. He is taking over a terrain on which the University of Bamenda was born. We challenged him as pioneer Director to
inject fresh ideas that will go a long way to improve on the quality of
training teachers for our secondary schools and colleges.
Prof. Akume Daniel Akume, Director of HTTTC Bamenda in
Bambili is specialist in Applied Mathematics. Before his appointment, he served as Chief of
service of SIGIPES at the Ministry of Higher Education. He shall be expected to reactivate, make real
make more accessible technical education training. The state of Cameroon
has its eyes cast on you to nurse formidable technical pedagogues who will
breed young Cameroonians in the art of entrepreneurial and engineering
sciences, vital assets for the construction of the emergent Cameroon of
2035. As the pioneer Director, you carry
the daunting responsibility to chart a feasible development plan for the school
in terms of programs, equipment and infrastructure.
Prof.
Kuaban Christopher, Dean
of the Faulty of Health Science, was previously coordinator of the Specialization
cycle of the Faculty of Medicine and Bio-medical Science of the University of Yaoundé I. As pioneer Dean, we will challenge him to
build the faculty with a view of making it one of the best in the country.
