1.0. BACKGROUND

In initiating, developing and implementing programs in Higher Education, Bamenda University of Science and Technology (BUST) has identified several strategic orientations for the creation, development and maintenance of a BUST Higher Education and Research Space. Creating a Higher Education and Research Space through institutional, national, regional and international collaboration equally fits in with BUST’s strategy for the harmonization of the Bachelor, Master and Doctor (BMD) system in Cameroon and within the CEMAC countries, based on the BOLOGNA System. The BOLOGNA system aims at strengthening the capacity of higher education institutions through innovative forms of collaboration, improving the quality of higher education and promoting academic mobility across institutions, countries, regions and continents.

Introduction:

Over the last decade, food security has been given a lot of emphasis by the government of our country.
•However, despite all these efforts by the government, research bodies and Non-Governmental Organizations, the attainment of food security in most parts of the country remains questionable.

These words of the Psalmist fully express what we shall be celebrating this week: the ‘Founder’s Day.’ You will notice in this Psalm of David a declaration of thanks, his reasons for thanks, a call to praise, and his expression of confidence in God. David was surrounded by nations that were polytheistic. He proclaims in verse 1, "I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the Angels will I sing praise unto thee." He makes it clear that he'll not compromise the worship of the true God for political correctness. As a matter of fact, his world view is almost prophetic when he asserts in verse 4, "All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth." He's convinced that there's coming a day when they will acknowledge the one true God as well. That gives this Psalm a little of that Messianic Kingdom flavor.

Hon. Tasi Ntang Lucas (Seating for Mrs. Foncha) "Today, Monday the 21st of May in the year of our Lord, twenty twelve, I am indeed happy to welcome you to this campus. You have come in your numbers to celebrate with us the first ever Founders’ Day of the Bamenda University of Science and Technology (BUST). Thank you and welcome to our campus as we remember our Founders.

It was my late husband’s dream as far back as 1960, to see a Government University of Science and Technology in Bambili. For one reason or the other, this dream did not come to pass.

Luckily and happily he and 75 other personalities from different breadwinning activities in life, came together in 1995 and created the Industrial and Educational Development Company (INDECO) Ltd., proprietor of BUST".

Extrated from Mrs. Anne A. Foncha's speech, on the occasion of the 1st founder's week at BUST.

Participants from the University of Douala, Pan-African Institute for Development - West Africa (PAID-WA) Buea, Institute of Agricultural Research, Bamenda University of Science and Technology (BUST) and some NGOs converged on BUST campus, Saturday November 26 2011, for a workshop aimed at defining the role of informal (community-based) response mechanisms in managing natural risks and shocks, the latter of which cause less damage and deaths (usually of less than a hundred) than full-blown disasters.

The Vice-Chancellor of BUST, Prof. Joseph B. Suh, pointed out the importance of the workshop by drawing the attention of participants to the impacts of shocks and disasters on the inhabitants and economy of any affected area, remarking that such mishaps bring much predicament to the rich and poor alike. hence his call to participants to explore their knowledge of human habitats, systems and the environment to enable society to “move forward with confidence towards addressing the challenges that confront us”.
