Biya’s computer gift:



Fame Ndongo’s April fool’s stunt?
Minister Fame Ndongo
The Minister of Higher Education, Jacques Fame Ndongo has told the Prime Minister and Head of Government that 80,000 of the 500,000 computers promised to Cameroonian students will be available as of November 2017. Fame Ndongo made the revelation during an extraordinary cabinet meeting that held on the 19th of September in the Prime Minister’s office in Yaoundé.
                Minister Ndongo assured PM Yang that he had put in place a transparent distribution mechanism that will take into account enrolment through the biometric system in all the universities.
                “The computers will be delivered to the students from November 2017 onwards. The Ministry of Higher Education will simply dispatch the computers to the students who will be registered beforehand by the biometric system in order to avoid fraud or fraudulent distributions.”

                Professor Jacques Fame Ndongo had made numerous declarations in the past about the Biya Computers but none has ever come out to be true. He promised to distribute the first wave by the end of December 2016 and then another delivery date was announced for the month of February 2017. But nothing ever happened.
                The computers will be manufactured by a Chinese company that will also equip Cameroonian universities with digital technology centers, Ndongo said.
