Regional Maritime University holds 27th Board Meeting

June 8, 2022

CNSC represented at the meeting holding in Ghana from 6 to 11 June 2022

The 27th session of the RMU Board of Governors started on 6 June with the Experts' Committee meeting, during which Cameroon handed over the chairmanship of the said committee to the Gambia. Mr. Jean Ernest Massena Ngalle Bibehe, Cameroon's Minister of Transport, will officially hand over the chair of the RMU Board of Governors to his Gambian counterpart during the board's session on 10 June 2022 at the university's campus.

Cameroon took her place at the helm of the RMU Board of Governors in March 2020 at a time when the whole world was plagued by the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite this unfavourable situation marked by the closure of air, sea and land borders, thereby impairing mobility, Cameroon managed to run the institution smoothly as evidenced by the institution's financial records. For the first time in the history of the RMU, a Cameroonian, Dr. Denis Atehnja Njumo, was appointed Provost; the chief coordinator of the institution's academic affairs.

Besides the official handing over of office, the 27th session of the Board of Governors will focus on the consolidation of achievements and the validation of the 2021 budget implementation. Member States were also encouraged to pay their outstanding dues for a better running of the University, which has enrolled 1530 students from 14 countries this year, 53 of whom are from Cameroon.
