Media experts, Erick Nchinje and Charles Ndongo invited the learners to be crucial agents of change as they obtain knowledge at the prestigious institution of learning.

Veteran journalist, Eric Chinje told the students that:  

“ I have seen what technology can do in countries like Rwanda, Botswana. I tell you Kigali is the second cleanest city in the world thanks its evolution in technology. This generation has the future in their hands and they must take it because they are the soldiers in the field. ICT university students are the generals in this war and they should lead the battle”.

Chinje went on to encourage the students to have a rethink of what they want Cameroon to be in terms of the usage of ICT.

The students he said, have 

“to go into themselves and think. They have been given the tools. Your understanding of the technologies that rule the world today should be an added advantage.”

He added that they should think of what they can do different to bring positive change to Cameroon. He stated that they should dream of a bigger picture of what they want Cameroon to be and a lot is going to change in the country.




 

Enter CRTV GM, Charles Ndongo

CRTV’s, Director General and Guest Speaker at the event, Charles Ndongo encouraged the students to tap from their rich know-hows and develop their talents. He told the ICT students that they are the future of the country.

“What we have achieved over the years should inspire you as you get into the field. You can do better than us if you work hard. You are the elite of this nation. You have the tools in your hands and you can do that.’’

Charles Ndongo and Eric Chinje have inspired many in the field of journalism and mass communication. The work these two will forever remain engraved in the hearts and minds of Cameroonians.
