Twelve students who passed the Advanced Level each received one hundred thousand francs. Twenty-one who succeeded at the Ordinary Level received fifty thousand francs each. All laureates were given certificates of recognition.
The national president of NCDA, Dr Mariana Tamukong Ndifor, praised the students for their commitment to their studies. She told them that their discipline and determination set them apart and make them a source of pride for the entire Nkwen community.
Much of the session was devoted to development work in Nkwen village, particularly the Nkwen Vocational Training Centre. The centre has been positioned as a key pillar in the association’s drive to equip young people with practical skills that match current labour market needs. Members reviewed ongoing improvements to the facility, including efforts to expand training options and strengthen management structures. The board reaffirmed the project’s importance to the village, noting that the centre is expected to support school-leavers and young adults who need employable skills beyond the standard academic path.
The association is expected to continue refining the centre’s programme in the months ahead as part of its broader development agenda for Nkwen.
