UB students pose with new laptops |
Higher
Education Minister, Jacques Fame Ndongo was at the University of Buea (UB) last
Wednesday, February 14, 2018 where he personally handed over the presidential
PB-HEV Laptops to130 students.
“President Paul Biya loves you so
much,” Minister Fame Ndongo told the students, apparently justifying why the
distribution of the laptops started on February 14 considered lover’s day.
“The President loves all of you because
you are committed to his higher education vision. Your dream was to have
computers. Such a dream now is a reality. President Paul Biya is your father. I
am here to hand your own share of the 500,000 laptops. The Head of State has
given you the best. He does what he says and says what he does. He is the
apostle of the new university governance policy,” said Fame Ndongo.
Minister Fame Ndongo explained that
the gift from the Head of State, President Paul Biya, is aimed at enabling
students connect to the cyberspace of the world to tap the latest knowledge to
enhance their studies and assure success. He said the computers were of the
latest technology as such a wonderful tool for learning.
Students who had thronged the
Dorothy Limunga Njeuma amphitheatre of the University of Buea greeted the
minister’s speech with deafening plaudits from time to time.
The plaudits became even louder when
Prof. Fame Ndongo told the students that: “The Head of State has given you the
best, make good use of it.”
He announced that a digital
University (Université Numérique) was being conceived for Cameroon so that the
country can progress from classical university to a veritably modern one.
In a vote of thanks delivered by a
student of UB, Ntui Oben Obi Agbor praised President Paul Biya for promoting
learning and culture and above all for having students at heart.
UB’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor
Horace Manga said the rest of the computers would be distributed in the various
Faculties of UB to biometrically registered students so they reach every
deserving learner. He stressed that each copy of the computer must be tested
before being handed over to the students and once received no complaint would
be entertained afterwards.
An estimated 13.898 biometrically
registered students of the University of Buea (UB) and sundry high institutions
of learning in Buea will receive the Paul Biya-Higher Education Vision (PB-HEV)
laptop computers during this first phase of distribution.
