What a pleasure it is for me to be here today among students of the University of Bamenda, the University of the Future to fulfil a noble obligation, that of presenting your share of His Excellency Paul BIYA's Presidential donation of five hundred thousand computers to Cameroon public and private Higher Education students. Dear Students of this prestigious University, as you receive this gift from the Head of State of our dear and beloved country, Cameroon, a project that is closely supervised by the Prime Minister, Head of Government, I will like you to remember the Head of State's message to you on the tenth of February two thousand and eighteen (I quote) "from this year on, our universities will be connected to the global university cyberspace" (end of quote). He has given you the best technological equipment it takes to be part of this "global university cyberspace". In fact, your computers are loaded with a perfect operating system (Intel Atom processor, windows ten (10) and Office three hundred and sixty five (365)). This is the latest technology you can find. Congratulations to all of you!!
This didactic tool from the Head of State is intended to help you to:
- get connected to the "global higher education cyberspace";
- work comfortably online and consult academic documents everywhere in the world;
- do collaborative work via the intranet system;
- produce academic documents and write your research work;
- do data analysis using the excel manager, and much more;
In fact, a promise made is a promise kept! Dear students, because, "the Head of State says what he does and does what he says", he has kept his promise to you.
While I take this opportunity to congratulate all of you for benefiting from this Presidential donation, I advise that you make good use of this didactic tool to be part of the digital university revolution that is on-going in Cameroon higher system and to "be patriotic internet users working for Cameroon's development".
- Long live public and private Higher Education Institutions;
- Long live the Higher Education System,
- Long live the Republic of Cameroon and its illustrious leader, His Excellency Paul BIYA, President of the Republic, Head of State and apostle of the New University Governance Policy.
Thank you for your kind attention
May God Bless all of us.
