It was another memorable day in
the life of Biaka University Institute of Buea as 660 students transitioned to
graduates found worthy in academics and character to face the job market. This
was during the 2019 graduation ceremony of the 19th batch of
students from the Institution which has been in existence since 1998. The
smiles on the faces of these graduates on November 8th 2019, could
only tell of the beauty that lies in hard work.
After burning the mid night
candles and overcoming the challenges of recent times amidst the crisis
affecting the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon, these students
finally turned another page in their career and promised to uphold the values
of BUIB wherever they find themselves.
Addressing the graduates at this
memorable event, communication specialist; Dr. Che Tita in his capacity as
Keynote speaker at the event, prescribed amongst others self dignity as
paramount to these graduates as they enter another chapter of life.
The Vice Chancellor Dr. Francisca
Hongla Biaka while congratulating the students for their excellent performance,

education to its students.
