Recognized for Transforming Private Higher Education
By FEN
The National Polytechnic University Institute Bamenda has been recognized for efforts put in over the years to help in transforming the Private Higher Educational Sector in Cameroon. This recognition came in the form of an award issued by the Cameroon Performance Awards CPA recently within the confines of the School campus.
The National Coordinator of the CPA Francis Ekongang Nzante before handing over the Award described the strides so far made by National Polytechnic University Institute Bamenda in the following manner: “Through the hard work of talented and dedicated individuals inspired by the indefatigable Pah Yong Francis you build an institution that today stands as the pride of Private Higher Institutions of Learning in Cameroon. The National Polytechnic University Institute formerly simply referred to as National Polytechnic Bambui played a major role in the Professionalization of Higher Education in Cameroon. Presently a national and international destination, National Polytechnic University Institute Bamenda has contributed enormously in bringing respect to Higher Education in Cameroon.”
Mr Francis Nzante further said the institution had churned out professionals in wide and varied fields and in this manner had contributed enormously in the building of the Cameroonian nation. Considering that the rationale of the CPA was to encourage hard work, Performance and results Mr Francis Nzante said the story of the CPA would be incomplete if the efforts of National Polytechnic University Institute Bamenda remained unrecognised.
Present to receive the Award were the Vice Chancellor Dr Christopher Akob, the proprietor Mr Yong Jaques, the Registrar Dr Aduh Francis Ngalla among other members of staff.
Dr Christopher Akob on reception of the Award said “This is totally in line with the vision of the founder Pah Yong Francis which was to provide Cameroonians with the necessary skills to be able to procure jobs and create job opportunities. National Polytechnic University Institute Bamenda is proud to say that we are doing this to the best of our capacity. This Award has come to encourage us to continue working hard and to keep contributing towards the building of our country” Dr Akob said.
Dr Aduh Francis Ngalla on his part retrospectively said when the Cameroonian Government introduced University Reforms with an intention of decongesting the lone University of Yaounde at the time Pah Yong Francis seized the occasion and applied for the creation of the institution.
Dr Aduh Francis Ngalla revealed that the institution was first authourised to offer Higher National Diplomas after two years of studies. Five years later, the institution was permitted to offer Bachelor Degrees under the mentorship of state Universities. National Polytechnic University Institute has through the years been working with the Universities of Buea and Dschang. Much more recently the institution signed partnership agreements with the University of Bamenda. The National Polytechnic University Institute Bamenda now offer Master Degree Programmes thanks to these MOUs signed with State Universities Dr Aduh Francis Ngalla explained.
He further intimated that in 2013 the Ministry of Higher Education classified National Polytechnic University Institute Bamenda as the best all round Private Higher Institution in Cameroon adding that just a year ago the institution was classified second best. “There is no doubt that Cameroon Performance Awards made the right choice” he said.
