In his installation speech, the Rector Formethe Anaclet underscored the important role the newly-appointed officials are expected to play in the follow-up of students’ academic research programmes.
After recounting their various biographies and describing installation ceremonies as occasions which give renewed impetus to the University’s administrative machinery, the Rector cautioned the new officials to be objective and upright in the exercise of their duties, adding that these human qualities which unfortunately are not taught in school are essential in leading men.
Professor Anaclet reminded the new officials that though their installations are all academic-oriented, because they are expected to ensure quality and excellent academic results, they must exercise good administrative, social and political abilities which remain a necessary ingredient to manage human beings and resources.
The new team appointed to the Faculty of Agronomy was told to intensify research and innovation towards the Second Generation Agriculture which is President Paul Biya’s wish.
