New students have pledged to be discipline, hardworking and loyal during their stay at the National Polytechnic University Institute (NPUI) Bamenda. The over 800 Freshmen made the pledge during a Matriculation Ceremony at the amphitheater 1000 of the university on Friday 16 December 2022.
Administering the Matriculation Oath was the Vice Chancellor Dr Christopher Apana Akob who reminded the new students and those transfered to the university institute of the values therein which are to work for the improvement of life for all, preserve knowledge through teaching and develope knowledge through research.
In the presence of the Management Board representated by the Chairperson Yong Jacques, Registrar, Deans, Directors, Chaplains amongst others, the new students promised to be honest, place high value on intellectual, personal and professional growth while striving for the highest of standards both in and out of campus.
The Matriculation Ceremony provided an opportunity for the Freshmen to get information on studies, grading and othe systems, tuition fee and payment procedure, discipline and socials, amongst others at NPUI.
In a compelling motivational message, 23 year old and PhD fellow Elma Akob challenged the Freshmen to be the very best of themselves by daring to dream.
The new student Union Executive commissioned by the Management Board representative promised to provide a good liaison between the administration and the students.
It is the first time National Polytechnic University Institute Bamenda is organising an independent Matriculation Ceremony. Often, it is combined with the convocation.
The college leadership used the event to announce ongoing admissions into all schools including the Post Graduate programmes being offered under the supervision of the University of Buea.
