2017/2018 official opening:

Brenda stops by, Paul Junior stays away from ENAM inaugural ceremony

The official launching ceremony of the 2017/2018 Academic year of the National School of Administration and Magistracy - ENAM took place on Monday,  8 January 2018, at the school’s campus.

                Everyone was expecting to catch a glimpse of  the Presidential kids Brenda Biya and Paul Biya Junior, who were among the list of successful candidates of both the written and orals of the entrance examination, and who were absent on the opening date on 18 December 2017.

                However, Paul Biya Junior was nowhere around the school campus, but his little sister Brenda stopped by but did not step out of the vehicule that brought her. Sources said she was warry of public and side comments, to the extent that the protocol had to intervene and isolate her.

                Meanwhile the children of Cavaye Yeguie Djibril, Speaker of the National Assembly, three of them, were also present. They are said to be in the same class with Brenda Biya.

                Not all 656 students who gained admission into ENAM this year answered present for the inaugural. Those absent were said to be mostly from the English speaking regions.

                The batch was christened 'Peace and Unity', by the Director General of the institution, Linus Toussaint MENDJANA, who called on the freshmen to respect discipline, as well be patriotic to the state. He warned them against engaging in any secessionist activities.

                Created in 1959, ENEAM trains senior administrative and judicial functionaries to serve the state.

                Breaking with tradition, ENAM welcomes students in Common Law for the first time. There were also 113 foreign students in this batch.
