Opinion!!! Full Functioning of UBa to Cause the Closure of most Professional Higher Institutes in the North West?

It is now very clear, certain and obvious that many business, money for making higher professional Institutes of learning with their cut throat fees will now run out of business given that with just 50,000 frs cfa, an average or a normal Cameroonian, to be more precise a North West parent will gainfully send the child or daughter to a state run University where all the faculties and professional institutions are fully operational with a staff strength that has no march in the country.

It must be recall that parents from this part of the country had suffered for years in the hands of these dubious business men who stood at nothing to extort from desperate parents who with no hope and lack of adequate means to send their children to school in other cheap state owned and run universities in other Regions were subjected to send their daughters or sons to go in for funny HND courses in obscured higher professional training institution charging high fees without mercy. 

With the coming and the announcement of the full operation of the University by the Minister of Higher Education Prof Fame Ndongo through her Vice-Chancellor Prof Tafah Edokat parents heaved a sigh of relief saying “at last we have been rescued”. The time for revenge has come whether they like it or not!

Worth noting and by facts, the coming of the Faculties of Arts, Law and Political Science, Economics and marketing science, to meet the faculty of science fully there, the teacher’s training institutions, the school of medicine and nursing, Coltech, HICM, School of transport and Logistics etc….. Leaves most of the North West based higher professional institutes adventuring into sphere of business weeping. One even thinking aloud cried “with all the loans and all these infrastructures where do I go to, for it is certainly clear that every parent will want to send the child but to where he will pay 50,000 FRS.

“Guess what? Fees are certainly going to drop, that is why there is wild publicity and campaign outside! Even those Universities which claim to be of high standards, one parent cried out, times are hard.

It should not also bit escape your imagination why most of these institutions are running after UBa for MoUs and why most of them are proposing to lease their structures to the University of Bamenda to be able to accommodate her fast growing population certainly for royalties at the end, you should not doubt!

It is now also very apparently clear that owners of these money for making professional institutes were the ones blocking the creation of the University of Bamenda and for it to operate in full capacity.

Another right thinking Cameroonian opined that it is time for the Bamenda Business man to start thinking of opening factories or transform their structures into companies than jump into school business because they are trying to rival or emulate another great educationist.
