The special brain trust which is being organized in line with
FEICOM’s vision of getting young people focus their reflection on the theme of
decentralization, was announced during a press conference yesterday.
During the conference, the director of cooperation, partnership,
communication and archives of FEICOM, Susan Ngane just like the spokesperson of
OPEN, Nta à Bitang and the CSC program adviser, Thierry Nguionza, was
optimistic that the endeavour would play a great role in enhancing local
development.
It worth mentioning that the Cameroon Students Challenge, placed
under the patronage of the minister of higher education, is an innovative brain
trust for knowledge and innovation amongst university students.
The Cameroon Students Challenge with motto as “Youths are
Ingenious” , was designed for young people and has as objective to detect,
valorize and promote bright, talented and ingenious students.
Just like the 1st edition of the competition which took
place in Buea last year, projects designed for the competition has to go
through certain procedures such as the administrative control, academic control
before being evaluated by the jury for pre-selection.
FEICOM and OPEN are concerned with how students can transform their
thesis to developmental tools. Hence, young people who research, innovate and
create, are the driving force for the emergence of Cameroon with
decentralization at the heart of major accomplishments.
The Special Council Support Fund for Mutual Assistance (FEICOM)
will offer prizes, awards and bonuses and information concerning the innovative
brain trust is available at FEICOM headquarters and regional agencies, in all
town halls and at OPEN, officials said.
However, it is worth noting that the brain trust competition is
open only to Masters Students and each council has the right to supervise just
one student group.
