Africa Science Week In Cameroon Was A Major Success And We Have Photos To Prove It

The highly anticipated Africa Science Week in Cameroon, led by NEF Ambassador Tabot Arreytambe, has officially come and gone – and from all indications, it was a major success. Yesterday marked the final day of the four-day event (June 27th–June 30th).

A strong turnout was expected, and the event certainly delivered. Despite taking place during a busy working week, photos and videos from the event showed packed sessions filled with science enthusiasts, students, professionals, and curious spectators eager to learn more about science and technology. Others attended to share their own knowledge and experiences in the field. To find out more about the event dates and location, read more here.

Zuo Bruno is the Founder and CEO of Zuoix, an offensive information security company based in Limbe, Cameroon. The company has organized a series of hack-oriented workshops across the South-West Region and recently launched AISCON – the Africa Information Security Conference, aimed at bringing hackers and cybersecurity enthusiasts from across the continent together. The first edition was held in October 2016 at FINI Hotel Bobende in Limbe, where banking security issues across Africa were discussed. Bruno is also passionate about cyber forensics and previously offered a free two-month training course to 23 Cameroonians.

Another keynote speaker was James Ntui, a Cameroonian engineer and IT Manager at Addax Petroleum Cameroon Company, one of the country’s two crude oil producers. James holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and a Master’s degree in Medical Electronics. He is also considered one of the pioneers of project management advocacy in Cameroon, being the fifth Cameroonian PMP holder, and continues to promote the discipline among youths and professionals.

James is passionate about ethical and servant leadership for Africans. As a member of numerous organizations that promote Africa, STEM, entrepreneurship, and leadership, he strongly believes that Africa’s renaissance depends on Africans rediscovering and embracing their historical contributions to civilization. His “When We Were Kings” series of talks and writings reflects this vision.

Of course, no great African event ends without a proper celebration. The event wrapped up with a grand finale featuring good food, networking, and warm African hospitality. Photos from the BBQ showed attendees enjoying the closing moments together.

Congratulations to NEF Ambassador Tabot Tambearrey on what appears to have been a successful and impactful event.
