The second batch of students of the Pan African University, baptized: ‘the Africa that we want’ have received their end of training certificates in Yaounde. The ceremony at the Yaounde Conference Centre was chaired by the minister of higher education, who represented the president of the republic.
                It witnessed the presence of some high profile personalities of the African union and the rectors of the universities of Yaoundé 2 and Buea presently hosting the institute’s two main departments of study.
The laureates have completed higher studies (Masters Degrees) in governance and regional integration at the University of Yaoundé 2, and Masters in translation and conference interpretation at the University of Buea.        
                                             
  Professor Jacque Fame Ndongo, Chancellor of academic orders in Cameroon, called on the graduating students to be true examples and vectors of a united and prosperous Africa; products of excellence , conquerors in the employment market and throughout their professional life.
                He urged them to be ready to serve Africa where ever and whenever they are called to in order to build the dream Africa designed by the African Union in its agenda 2063.
                The 59 outgoing students from 19 African countries expressed joy for becoming real ambassadors of Pan Africanism. Through their student representative, they thanked the collective effort that made their studies and stay in Cameroon a success, especially for receiving such an African training in Africa, by Africans and for Africa. They equally strongly denounced all forms of brain drain and western domination.
                The rector of the University of Buea, Professor NalovaLyonga, encouraged them to leave positive foot prints that reflect the quality of training they have received where ever they are called to serve both nationally and continentally.
