Churchill Monono crowned pioneer patron
hurchill Ewumbue-Monono, Technical Adviser at the cabinet of the presidency of the republic has been made the patron of the Yaounde chapter of the Cameroon Anglophone Journalists Association, Camasej.
    The seasoned journalist and career diplomat was crowned by members of Camasej Yaounde, who converged on his residence at the ministers’ quarters here, on Friday 6 March 2015.
    Speaking on the occasion, Simon Lyonga La Molombe, president of Camasej Yaounde chapter, said members of the association expressed the wish to have Mola Churchill Monono as their patron not only because of his extensive experience as a journalist and diplomat but also because he is a perfect breed of the Cameroonian system, given that Churchill did the better part of his higher studies in Cameroonian institutions, notably ASMAC (present day ESSTIC) and IRIC, all in Yaounde.

    “It is our hope that with your rich experience and wide exposure within and without Cameroon, you will hold our hands, give us advice and back us in times of need,” said Simon Lyonga, who is sports editor at the national broadcaster, CRTV.
    Accepting the challenge, Churchill Ewumbue-Monono thanked Camasejans for doing him the honour of making him their pioneer patron. He exhorted members of Camasej do their job with courage, dedication, objectivity and above all with the respect for professional ethics. The Minister Plenipotentiary of the Cameroon Diplomatic Corps pledged to share his rich experience with the younger generation of journalists and assist them whenever and wherever he can.
    The ceremony provided a veritable opportunity for members of Camasej to exchange professional ideas with their new patron and tap from his wealth of experience.
    A sumptuous dinner served by Dr. Mrs Monono Lifongo, wife of the host, graced the ceremony.
