Catholic University of Bamenda not closed – Bishop Andrew Nkea.

2019-09-06
No: 445

Fears about the closure of the Catholic University of Bamenda have been allayed by the Bishop of Mamfe, Andrew Nkea.

Speaking on Cameroon Calling last Sunday, the prelate admitted that a branch of the university had been created in Bandjoun but the main campus remains in Bamenda.

Bishop Nkea said the creation of the campus in Bandjoun was to cater for the needs of some 45 percent of the students who French-speaking. He said they had threatened to withdraw from the school due to the insecurity in Bamenda, prompting Catholic authorities to opt for a campus in Bandjou.

The Mamfe used the interview to explain the stance of the Bamenda Ecclesiastical Province on back-to-school. He said the doors of Catholic institutions had always remained open but parents decided to withdraw their children for security reasons.

Bishop Nkea denied that the Catholic Church had been in support of the separatists in their campaign for school boycott. He said they had taken steps towards convincing separatists to allow children go back to school after three years of knowledge blackout.

The Mamfe said the letter of the Bamenda Bishops was addressed to all stakeholders in the Anglophone crisis – Amba Boys, the army and the government.
