8th Convocation of the University of Bamenda

8th December 2018 was a wonderful day with mixed feelings for graduates the University of Bamenda. Despite the University organizing the event, students kept getting threats so with the insecurity, this becomes a challenge. However, we were able to brave it and travel to the University that Saturday morning. On the way, the streets were nearly empty but for the several soldiers who were on guard. Early, that morning, the major road leading to the University was blocked but the military came around and opened it. As we drove by to the University, we could see two casualties.

The convocation ceremony didn't begin as early as planned due to such challenges. Not all the graduates showed up for obvious reasons. 

It was a great event and students were encouraged to be ready to face the world and be proactive with solutions to the problems that will demand their expertise. For me in particular it was a good time to celebrate the faithfulness of God over the past few years for leading me successfully through this Postgraduate studies. It has not been very easy taking these courses but it has been very rewarding to see how I can come in to be prepared and go out to serve better.
