Some 6 newly appointed officials at the University of Buea have been installed into their functions by the Vice-chancellor of the University, Prof. Ngomo Horace Manga. 

                Installing the officials last Tuesday 6 February at the Amphi-theatre 750 of the University, Ngomo Horace called on them to use their competence and correct weaknesses in their respective areas of concern. 

                “You are expected to come in with new ambitions to improve on what you will meet. The University community is waiting to see added impetus because we know you are coming in in with a lot of experience to your respective positions.”

                With respect to the newly created Faculty of Law and Political Science, Prof. Ngomo Horace noted: “What we have now is an administrative split and not a political one. We expect that you will expand on the number of courses and ensure that there are more specialization courses”.

                A word of gratitude was extended to the outgoing officials for the invaluable contributions and making UB continue to be the place to be. In his closing remark, prof. Ngomo Horace called on those installed to uphold UB’s commitment of excellence which revolves around teaching, research and outreach which can only be possible if there is respect for norms and transparency.

                On his part, the new Dean of the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences, Prof. Emmanuel Yenshu, said “we have to work very hard because there are definitely new things we have to learn as we are entering a new office. But I am prepared to run the faculty and make sure that students study, take their exams in time and at the end they can graduate.”

                To the new Dean of the Faculty of Law and Political Science, Dr. Atangcho Nji, the appointment comes with a lot of challenges. So we have to work hard to make the faculty functional so as to project the image of UB. Hard work is of the essence and that is what I intend to bring to this faculty”.

                Others who were also installed during last solemn ceremony included the Dean of the Faculty of Education, Dr. Agbor Bechem Tambi; the Director of ASTI, Dr. Ndeffo Tene Alexandre; the DVC/RCB Professor Martha Tumnde and the DVC/TIC, Prof. Fonkeng Epah George.
