No-Nonsense Anglophone Woman Is New GM of Camtel
 |
| Yah Judith Sonde epse Achidi Achu |
So an Anglophone too could be GM of the giant national
telecoms corporation, Camtel! President Paul Biya Friday stunned political
bookmakers when he dropped David Nkotto Emane as GM of Camtel and replaced him
with the powerful and self-asserting Anglophone lady, Mrs. Yah Judith Sonde
epse Achidi Achu.
As the
name depicts, Mrs Yah Judith epse Achidi Achu is the wife of the once
emblematic, charismatic but now ailing former PM of Cameroon, the Rt. Hon.
Simon Achidi Achu. But apart from being the wife of the veteran statesman, Mrs
Yah Judith Achidi is a cut, steeped and dried professional in the domains of
public management and internal auditing.
Before
and until her appointment to the exalted position of GM of Camtel, ‘Mafor’ Yah
Judith Achidi was since 2006 the Commercial Director of Camtel.
She had also been the regional delegate of Camtel
successively in the SW, NW, Littoral and Centre regions, apart from serving in
several other important capacities at the Camtel head office in Yaounde.
A holder
of a Professional Master’s Degree in Money, Banking and International Finance
from IRIC of the University of Yaounde II, Mafor Judith Achidi had earlier in
1991, bagged a B SC in Economic Sciences from the University of Quebec in
Montreal Canada. She is presently a doctoral candidate in IRIC, researching on
the topic: “Audit Committees and the Efficacy of Administrative Boards of
Public Companies in Africa.”
Apart
from her brilliant career in Camtel, Judith Achidi Achu is also the President
of the Association of Internal Auditors of Cameroon and the Vice President for
Central Africa of the Federation of African Institutes of Internal Auditors,
AFIA, with headquarters in Tanzania.
As the
National President of the Internal Auditors Association of Cameroon, Yah Judith
Achidi Achu has been determinedly engaged in promoting good governance and
managerial probity in the public and private sectors in Cameroon and the wider
world. In this light, she successfully organized two landmark international
conferences on public governance, in Yaounde. The first of these conferences in
2006 was on the theme: “Good governance, Internal Audit, Risk Management and
the importance for emerging countries.” The second conference in 2015 had as
theme: Internal Audit and Managerial Ethics; The Panacea for A Better African
Continent.”
Equipped
with the foregoing, it is no surprise therefore that ‘Mafor’ Yah Judith Achidi
Achu’s colleagues at Camtel describe her as a cut, steeped and dried manager
with a high sense of professional rigor and ethics.
Like
her husband, Simon Achidi Achu, Mafor Yah Judith out-going and exceedingly
dynamic. Apart from being an active militant of the ruling CPDM party, she is
also an active player in many socio-cultural groups and activities especially
in her native NW region. Her development drive and especially her activism in
socio-cultural activities caught the attention of the Fons of the NW, who did
not hesitate to elevate Yah Judith Sonde epse Achidi to the dignity of “Mafor”.
Go,
Mafor Judith, go! The sky is your stepping stone.
Camtel GM,Yaah Judith Achidi
