The Faculty of Science in the University of Buea, UB, has celebrated 25 of its existence, on the theme, “Faculty of Science: 25 Years of Service to Humanity and Perspective for Emergence.”
The hallmark of the celebration was the recognition of some outstanding Lecturers who have served the Faculty diligently for the past years.
The Post, reports that the Pioneer Dean of the Faculty and erstwhile Vice Chancellor of the University of Buea, Professor Vincent PK Titanji, was part of the keynote speakers who mounted the rostrum to talk on their experiences and prospects.
Prof. Titanji highlighted how the faculty was founded, challenges it went through since 1993 and how the challenges have shaped the faculty to become a success story today.
According to Prof. Vincent PK Titanji, the pioneer students of the faculty had to travel to Yaoundé to carry out their practicals due to lack of laboratories in UB at the time.
