EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Catholic University Institute of Buea (CUIB) has raised the goal of higher
education in Cameroon by specifically aiming to produce Job creators and not Job
Seekers. This goal calls for innovation and improvement of traditional higher
education approaches. One of the strategies adopted is the institutionalization of
CUIB-CERI Entrepreneurship and Academic fair CCEAF program, which serves
as a practicum to immerse students into the entrepreneurial realities of Cameroon
and the world within an academic context and environment.
The purpose of CCEAF is to promote the entrepreneurial nature of CUIB based on
Catholic religious business principles by fostering confidence in self-reliance for
job creation, innovation, inventiveness & entrepreneurial mindset among CUIB
students through the building and testing strategic alliances with local, national and
international partners. CCEAF 2016 which is the fourth edition in the program
maintained its theme as “The Economy of Communion in Action”. It sought to
strengthen the academic base of the fair by developing, documenting and
implementing a system for unbiased student evaluation of their experiential
learning.
More than 50,000 people participated in the fair. These were drawn from the
following groups of stakeholders: Students, Staff and Faculty of CUIB, Students
and staff of Catholic schools within the diocese of Buea, students of other primary,
secondary and higher institutions around Fako Division, and the local community
of Buea, government institutions and Para-statals, local, national and multinational
companies, international and multi-lateral organizations.
Preparation for CCEAF 2016 benefited from the experiences gathered from the
past editions, coupled with the assistance of all committees which were put in
place.
vii
The fair ran from Thursday 4th February 2016 to Sunday February 14th 2016.
It was launched on Friday the 5th of February 2016 by the Chancellor’s
representative, Rev Fr. John Baba, in the presence of Hon. Enow Tanjong and the
South West governor’s representative. Subsequently, the five schools of the
university and STUGA took turns to organize specific conferences and colloquia.
They brought speakers from other national universities as well as government and
private sector professionals.

CHAPTER ONE
SETTING THE STAGE
1.1 Background
Complementing traditional classroom-based entrepreneurship learning with industrial
internships has proven to be a potent tool for producing graduates ready for employment
by industry. However, the Catholic University Institute of Buea (CUIB) has raised the
bar. The aim is not just to produce job seekers but job creators. This extra expectation
from CUIB graduates calls for extra innovative approaches to their training. One of these
innovations is the institutionalization of the Catholic University Institute of Buea, Centre
for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Entrepreneurship and Academic Fair (CCEAF)
program. This fair has been conceived as a practicum to immerse the students of CUIB
into the entrepreneurship realities of Cameroon and the world while in school so as to
fine-tune their mindsets in entrepreneurship, widen their horizons on opportunities and
practical challenges, build their self confidence in their path to knowledge
acquisition/generation on self-reliance and strengthen their resolve to be job creators and
not job seekers when they eventually graduate. The approach has been to connect CUIB
with progressive industrial and business organizations who share the mission of the
university as well as to prompt staff and students of CUIB present their activities,
projects and aspirations meant to build the next generation of job creators in Cameroon.
CCEAF 2016 is the fourth edition, and this document is a brief summary of its planning
and outcomes.

2.4 Elite Student Entrepreneurs
The proliferation of Elite student entrepreneurs constituted another visible element of
CCEAF 2016. Elite student entrepreneurs are those students who invested in and
managed their own exhibition stands. Comparing to 2015 edition, about 25 students this
year owned a stand, in most of cases they were in group.
2.5 EoC Time.
Economy of Communion (EoC) is one of the Cardinal philosophies of CUIB. It simply
entails valuing communion with God and neighbor. Sharing time, talent and treasure
within the university community in the mist of God’s abundance is a 24/7 activity at
CUIB. However in the middle of each day at 12.00pm there is a climax of this sharing.
Everything else must stop to allow for university community members to share in God’s
Eucharistic feast- the Holy mass. This is EoC Time. The holy mass at EoC time was
always a special moment during CCEAF 2016 as it took place on the trade fair podium
right in the middle of the trade fair action. Visitors, exhibitors and university community
members all joined at this daily event in the open air. They took time to reflect in the
mysteries of God’s words before continuing business and academics on the trade fair
ground.
2.6 Competitions
Competitions are another set of activities that spiced CCEAF 2016. There were
competitions among CUIB Students, competitions among the various secondary school
participants, competitions among the various primary school participants and
competitions among adult community member participants. CUIB students engaged in
Beauty contests and public speaking competitions. The secondary school engaged in
quizzes, games, dancing and public speaking contents. The special innovation of this year
was the Buea Got Talent and Buea Got Geek organized by STUGA.
2.7 Shows and Animation.

youths displayed their talents by staging the music of different musicians. Apart from
which other musicians like Featurist, Numerica, Nicole Mara, Mr Leo, Salatiel, Blaise B
were present.

3.2) Day Two Friday 05/02/2016

3.3) Day Three, Saturday 6/02/2016
On this 3rd day of the trade fair, the School of Engineering had its conference under the
theme: Engineering Practice in Cameroon, Present and Future. Resource persons for the
colloquium were drawn from both Academia and Industry to give students a balance feel.
Mme. Nkenfang Christelle Rebecca, a packaged and quality engineer both at the
Industrial and Managerial levels at Les Brasseries du Cameroun opened her discussion by
saying, “It will be fallacious to approach the engineering field with the sole aim to make
money”. She told students it is advantageous to kick start their careers at small companies
who budget little for acquiring technology. According to her, this will urge the young
Page | 9
engineers to think and be creative, which is one of the greatest roles of an engineer. She
highlighted that while it is beneficial to work with big companies as a young engineer,
considering the exposure to sophisticated technology; it kills creativity as the engineer’s
job is focused on applying laid down protocols to obtain particular results. With regards
to practices, Mme. Nkenfang revealed to students that, the future of engineering in
Cameroon is self-employment and entrepreneurship mentioning that to add value to
existing technology and innovate; the engineer must focus on what they know best and
what they are passionate about.
On his part Mr. Egbe Daniel a Faculty at SENG urged students not to quench their thirst
for engineering despite setbacks. He challenged them to start by developing solutions for
problems in their communities while casting a glance into the future. He emphasized that
to foster engineering and inspire young engineers, it is important to organize workshops
and seminars for students at the Secondary School level to enable them understand the
dynamics and bliss of engineering.
The Dean of SENG, Dr. Sona Alfred, concluded the colloquium by giving students and
other participants an insight to the journey of
an engineer. He also encourages the students
that he is confident SENG students will be the
next generation of Cameroonians engineers.
He advised them to draw inspiration from the
story of Creation which highlights some
important engineering concepts; which are to
Create and evaluate.
The caravan went round with the artist Numerica who performed later in the evening.
3.4) Day Four, Sunday 7/02/2016

because technology has evolved so much that almost everything is done online; He cited
conversations, monetary transactions, storage, just to name a few. In his discourse,
Mr. Achankeng warned participants to avoid responding to anonymous e-mails, SMS and
any communication requesting for personal information as these are the main routes for
obtaining personal information from anyone, which can result to identity theft. To cyber
security enthusiasts, Mr. Achankeng underlined that despite the insecurity, Network
security can still be achieved; to this he advised that, networks must be segmented for
better security, hotspots should be secured with SSL authentication to manage encryption
and decryption of information and above all keep track of activities on the network.
Mr. Ngatchu Damen, another Faculty of the School highlighted that technological
advancement is one of the means by which the
cyber space can be protected, he went ahead to
urge cyber security students to be so skilled
that, they beat the imagination of their
adversaries. Adding his voice to Mr. Damen’s,
Mr. Agamo Cosmos a Researcher on
cybercrimes and laws said the Cameroon
government in 2010 enacted laws identifying
some criminal actions which are punishable by
law as well as stating clear procedures for arrest and prosecution.
With regards to programs and software
developers Mrs. Faith Mpara of Women Tech
Makers insisted on students taking the
responsibility to check possible security
loopholes of software and applications they
develop before publishing, as there are legal
consequences for distributing systems which
are vulnerable to attacks. She ended her talk
by asking the IT enthusiasts “Can people take
Page | 11
your application or software and rely on it?”
The colloquium which was also meant to put the SIT in spotlight during the 2016
CCEAF saw the participation of students, staff and Faculty from different units of the
City Of Saints an Scholars.
3.7) Day 7 Wednesday 10/02/16
School of Agriculture and Natural Resources in the spotlight with a forum bringing
specialist from the different fields in Agriculture to discuss on the theme Organic and
Inorganic Agriculture in Cameroon: Sustainability and challenges.
Dr. Njukeng Jetro, Senior Research officer from the
Institute of Agricultural Research For Development
dived into the theme by highlighting that Agriculture
employs 70 percent of Cameroon’s workforce
providing 42 percent of the GDP and 30 percent of
its export revenue. She went ahead to identify some
key differences between organic and Inorganic
Agriculture. Dr. Njukeng told the forum organic agriculture is not hazardous as compared
to inorganic agriculture mentioning that the uncontrolled use of synthetic inputs poses a
health problem to consumers and the environment. With regards to the economic
implication she said investment inputs is huge with inorganic agriculture which affects
yield while with organic agriculture investment input material is low and yield is reliable,
of good quality and satisfactory considering an almost no cost in maintaining soil fertility
or in her words pH value. She stated that despite the advantages towards organic
agriculture there are some laid down procedures which the farmer must follow for their
farm produce to be termed organic.
The General Manager of Mukete Estate Ltd. and
Seasoned Agriculturist Mukete Godfrey said
irrespective of the system used, the advantages and
disadvantages abound, he told the forum it all boiled
down to procedures used and a focus on
sustainability. Mukete said with crops, organic
agriculture in Cameroon is manageable adding that
the main challenge is in livestock production: Adding his voice to the discourse the
Director of CARITAS of the Diocese of Buea Mr Pierre Ernest said the solution lies in
Page | 12
designing a model for Cameroon which will be acceptable by farmers and above all bring
income.
At the end of the discussions the forum concluded that organic agriculture is the future
but however farmers must take into consideration the laid down protocols for carrying
out organic farming while agricultural bodies moderating organic farming must engage in
more sensitization. As a way forward, Mr Mukete Godfrey said “As a farmer you need to
set up a system where there is zero waste in order to reduce cost of production and be
more sustainable”.
3.8) Day Eight, Thursday 11/02/2016
The National Youth Day
Colloquium
The College of Business and Technology (CBT) organized his colloquium that day under
two themes; Agriculture, the New “Oil” in Cameroon and “The Importance of IT in Our
Society”.
Main facilitator of the forum Mr Sama Valentine,
Faculty and Agric Engineer at CBT told the forum
“Agriculture is not only about growing plants and
animals…there are diverse careers available in
agriculture for professionals in different fields”
citing Marketers and Mechanical engineers as
examples. He called on participants of the forum to
develop a mind shift and start creating time to
invest in agriculture stating that in the nearest future the world population will number 10
billion and in his words “There will be mouths to feed”. According to the Agric.
Engineer, vast fertile lands abound in Cameroon and unfortunately not put to use, he
lamented that common farm produce like corn and cassava which a highly consumed in
different forms are still imported by some big companies while vast lands are left to
fallow. As a follow up to the arguments put forward by Mr. Sama, he told the forum “The
time is now” mentioning that agriculture is one of the easiest ventures to kick start
holding that the Cameroon government and the world is gearing most of its resources to
agriculture. He went on to state categorically clear that agricultural produce are tax free
which also makes getting into the business easier for beginners. Challenged by
participants on the drastic decline of business in the sector, Mr. Sama said with the
discovery of oil, it was unfortunate that all attention was geared towards the petroleum
Page | 13
sector forgetting that there were mouths to feed. He however told participants to put aside
the notion and start engaging in agriculture which has a fixed and constantly growing
market. At the end of his discourse he urged participants to consult qualified Agric.
Engineers before engaging in the business to ensure they follow the laid down procedures
for operating and “becoming the next Agri-Billionares”.
Mr. Ndasi Julius another Faculty at CBT and
Computer Engineer who spoke on the
Importance of IT in our Society today called
on participants to take IT serious as it is
significant in taking every business and
professional career to a whole new level. He
said the exploits of IT cannot be ignored in our
contemporary world taking the Medicine and
Educational fields as examples where patients
can be consulted, diagnosed and followed up online and where students can take courses
in a different country without necessarily going there. Mr Ndasi ended his discourse by
requesting everyone to be computer literate as in the near future knowledge IT will be a
prerequisite for getting jobs or operating in any field of study.
Drawing from the speech of President Paul Biya on the Occasion of the 2016 Youth Day
Celebrations, Mr Tinife Richard who was moderator of the forum called on students to
make use of technology, network across departments and above all continue sharing
knowledge so that Cameroon can become and emerging economy before 2035.

organized under the theme “Partnership and Networking for Business Development in
Cameroon.” The speakers affirmed that partnerships and networks were very essential in
the development and growth of businesses, thus they called on the students to begin
networking as early as now.
According to Mr Achankeng Collins, General Manager of ANUCAM, partnerships and
networking are inseparable and are guided by values such as integrity, ethics, quality of
business and personnel as well as innovation. He opined that companies want to partner
with people who can perform (creative thinkers/ innovators) emphasizing that
partnerships and networking are key to economic growth success. He alongside
Mr. Eyong Peter of the National Employment Fund outlined that networking and
partnership gives visibility, identifies talents, skills of partners and reduces business risks.
On this note they appealed to the students to identify the right kind of business, partners
and network to maintain the identified partners.
Page | 16
CEO of Afrik Expansion, Mr. David Gobin expressed that it was important for project
owners to identify stakeholders of the project as partners. He further mentioned that the
business environment in Cameroon is not very organized, thus to be successful selecting
the right people, making the project institutional and getting the right managers were
steps in networking.
On the aspect of the law and ethics in partnerships, Mr. Kwei Haliday, deputy state
counsel Mbanga, found in the Littoral Region of Cameroon voiced that partnerships and
networking were gaining grounds in the world today, thus advised it was essential for
companies and individuals to consider the law governing partnerships, ensure the legal
capacity of both partners as well as consult a lawyer on the different clauses of the
partnerships. Adding more to this, Mr. Francis Nforba Asah, certified national accountant
said it was necessary for one to have the professional knowledge and skill in a field to be
able to form partnerships. They confirmed the fact that there was no law backing
partnerships and agreements in the country, thus recommended that it was preferable to
settle partnership conflicts out of court.
Mr. James Ako-Egbe, director of the Office of Institutional Advancement and
Development, CUIB reiterated on the need to consider diligence and partner visibility
when seeking partners. He however cautioned upcoming entrepreneurs to be aware of the
kinds of partnerships they will develop, stating the need to make provision for an exit

3.11) Eleven Sunday 14/02/2016
Special Valentine’s Day and CCEAF 2016 Closing Ceremony
Valentine’s Day
Some students, faculty and staff of the Catholic University Institute of Buea celebrated
St. Valentine’s Day with an informal session on “love, friendship and marriage organized
by the Campus Ministry priests to enlighten and reminded all on the essence of “love,
friendship and marriage” in life. According to some of the speakers, it is important for
people to form the right friendship: one that respects self-preservation and freedom.
Page | 17
Fritz Nkeng Eyabi, Junior year student of the School of Engineering talking on friendship
defined it laying emphasis on commitment, freedom and equality as virtues of a good
relation among people. He voiced that friendships should be built on trust, humility and
concern for one another. He decried friendships built on selfish reasons, but mentioned
that challenges were inevitable in any relationship.
On this note, Rev. Fr. Tobias Bekong of the Campus Ministry outlined basic challenges
in friendship which include: jealousy, divergent life styles, distance and neglect.
However, he along with Fr. Francois Xavier and Fr. Peter Elvis Akanang cautioned that
getting closure on any situation was necessary in any relationship. They went on to say
that the purpose of friendship should be identified for friends help us grow in selfknowledge and are sources of encouragement.
Thecla and Michael Niba couple counselors in the Diocese of Buea, divulging on love
and marriage, cautioned that the absence of friendship, communication and selfishness in
marriage destroys the divine blessing. “Building and staying in a good marriage starts
now; engaging in communication on different aspects of the couple’s life and
reciprocating actions,” she said was indispensable. According to the couple relationships
fail today because those involved go out of the limit: putting material gains before one
another.
In conclusion the Campus Ministry priests used the forum to remind all of the love
intended on the day of St. Valentine which to them has been misinterpreted by many.
They called on all to be able to decipher the different reasons for love and the kinds of
love practiced today, reiterating the need for self- preservation and respect. It is worthy to
mention that faculty, staff and students participated actively in games relating to the
topic, questions and answers as well as expression of opinions. Participants left the
session contented with the discussion and expressed the wish to have more of such for the
entire CUIB community.

revealed that despite witnessing only the last three
days of the Fair he was totally amazed at the
creativity and innovation by students, in his words

CHAPTER FOUR
CCEAF 2016 STUDENTS EVALUATION
4.1 Description
The Entrepreneurial and Academic Fair (CCEAF) had a blend of different activities to
suit individual and collective needs. As part of the Entrepreneurial Training and Practice
(ENP) program, all CUIB students were divided into different committees, groups and
stands to plan, implement and evaluate the fair. Their involvement, performance and
aptitude was specially graded by clients, supervisors and coordinators to earn them
practical ENP scores for the semester, representing 30% of their ENP mark.
4.2 Evaluation Criteria
CCEAF has 3 levels of evaluation:
 Level 1 : Client Evaluation (50%)
This evaluation was done by the stand owner or the head of committee where the student
was allocated. It is a daily base evaluation using the assessment form and focusing on
participation and achievement of goals assigned to the student by the stand owner or the
head of committee.

4.3 Statistics
The results of student evaluation are found below. The separated results by school have
been analyzed to know the cause of the success or failure of the students who participated
in the 2016 CCEAF.
1. A list of One Thousands Seven Hundreds and One (1701) students were received
from the finance office and all students allocated to various stands and committees
to be evaluated by supervisors and stand owners or head of committees. Actually
One Thousands Three Hundreds and Three (1303) students participated in the fair
and had scores ranking from 4 to 29 over 30. It is difficult to have the percentage
of participation since the figures received from finance also included students not
taking ENP (Students carry over other courses than ENP, students for Non-Degree
programs like CISCO).
2. From One Thousands Three Hundreds and Three (1303) students who were
evaluated, One Thousands - Eighty Seven (1087) scored between 15 and 29 on 30,

CHAPTER FIVE
CHALENGES, LESSONS LEARNED AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Challenges:
 Few days before the Fair, the transformer supplying the university got bad, the
trade fair then ran on generator for the first five days, with constant light
interruption.
 Some heads of committee where not really responsive, making the communication
difficult and not facilitating the smooth running of the fair.
 A lot of student were not present in the stands where they were allocated and stand
owners where complaining since we promised them that they will have students to
work with.
 Some companies and government institutions said they received the sponsorship
and participation letters late. They advised us that next time we should send the
package at least 3 months before the fair.
 Some faculties, responsible for evaluating students were not always available to
evaluate students who worked during the evening shift.
 The planning for artists where not done early enough. It was then difficult to book
for major artists that could gather a lot of visitors.
5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS:
 The organizing committee should be put in place at least four months before
the fair and sponsorship and participation letters should be sent at least three
month before.
 Artists should be booked at least 1 month before the fair.
 Several meetings should be held with students, staff and faculty before the
trade fair to explain more on what is expected from each of them to ensure the
success of the fair.
 Student evaluation forms should be submitted daily by supervisors, stand
owners and heads of committee.
Page | 28
 A comprehensive list of students should be available before starting the
allocation.
 The evaluation process should be more simplified, taking into consideration
the number of students and the duration of the fair.
 A proper coaching should be given to elite students entrepreneurs to help them
plan and run their business during the fair.

5.4 CONCLUSION
The fourth edition of CUIB-CERI Entrepreneurship and Academic Fair which ran for 10
days from the 04/02/2016 to the 14/02/2016 highlighted the vision of the University “to
bring hope to the students and awaken in them a sense of purpose and direction so that
they may achieve social, economic, spiritual, cultural and environmental well-being in
their communities in particular and the nation at large’’.
The CCEAF 2016 brought together some of the most forward thinking minds from the
world of business, technology, agriculture and engineering showcasing truly innovative
works. It was a great experience for a good number of persons who attended.
The increasing number of elite student’s entrepreneurs is also a proof that students are
getting the mindset.
All awards were fairly linked to the goals of the CCEAF. Awards given to outstanding
students who played significant roles during the CCEAF enhanced their determination to
work towards getting these prices. Heads of committee and stand owners were also
awarded for their commitment to make the CCEAF 2016 a successful one.
In spite of the aforementioned successes, there were still challenges. Recommendations
have been made to reduce the challenges and capitalize on lessons learned.
A feedback survey was run to identify areas of improvement for the next edition.
