Higher Education Minister, Prof. Jacques FAME Ndongo

The Minister of Higher Education who doubles as the Chancellor of Academic orders and visitor to the university of Buea, Prof. Jacques FAME Ndongo embarked on a personal gesture to encourage a school age young boy to return to school and resume classes despite the ongoing Anglophone impasse that has crippled schools and businesses in the NW/SW regions of the country.

                In a personal action Minister Fame Ndongo stopped his convoy with close to fifty cars to offer the some of FCFA 5000 to a young boy at the Mahole Street, in Mukonje village in Kumba. The Minister made the gesture when he while in his car spotted the young boy putting on a school T-shirt bearing the name of Cameroon College of Arts and Sciences, CCAS Kumba.

                FAME Ndongo stopped his convoy that was on bread neck speed from Mukonje village in Kumba, after laying the foundation stone to host the pedagogic and administrative block of the Higher Technical Teachers Training College, HTTTC, Kumba. He removed the money from the chest pocket of his suit and offered to the boy while saying “go back to school, you people should send your children to school” shouted FAME Ndongo to the hearing of onlookers who had queued up along both sides of the street to bit welcome and farewell to the Higher Education Boss.

                Just after the action of the Minister, many tongues started wagging as to whether the boy was actually a student of a boiled egg hawker. To these observers, before the Minister’s visit to Mukonje village at Mahole that faithful morning, the same child was spotted with a bocket of boiled eggs. Some revealed that the child had been along that street to sell eggs to the hundreds of persons who had turn out for the event at Mahole.
