dreams of Prof Tafah’s Vision for the Future kind of way to run the university,
UBa “I think the University that I Boss will stand tall with the differences

The Man Prof Tafah
Edward Edokat
Is a man from a very humble beginning, who lost
the father at the age of four, brought up purely and acutely in religion, with
a measured life style worked out his way to fame through the varied educational
ladders with the helping hands of the good and loving Savior that he serve and
lecturers.

Balance sheet of

laying ground works to ensure more credible and reliable entrance to the
various schools and faculties shall be managed. “With a new team of
collaborators hopefully the new dream vision for a university with quality
breeds and yields will come to pass for dedicated services to our loving

say the VC
On Going Projects
By the
next academic year, the ongoing restaurant project under construction will be
completed, the pedagogic block, the University Laboratory and the
Administrative block that shall host 21 offices, not also forgetting terracing
works which are on going to secure and carve out the University premise and
land.
The long
and short story of the one on one with the Vice-Chancellor to the Bamenda
University reveals a lot about the astute qualities in the humble person of
prof Tafah, who sees beyond the horizon for the university he manages and will
not let any form of distraction avert his smooth, dedicated, focused and well
oriented ways of reasoning for his University. As a challenge to other
Cameroonian state universities, feasibility studies are been made to see the
introduction of a twelfth school, which is the Institute of transport and
logistic known to no university in Cameroon.
