Welcoming of freshman is a flagship tradition of CUIB where the entire faculty and staffofficially greet all the newly admitted students before taking them into the general orientation ceremony for them to understand the mission and vision of CUIB as well as the overview of the institution.
During his welcome remark at the Buea campus, Prof Ngoh appreciated the students for choosing CUIB and enjoined them to take their studies seriously by avoiding friends that may want to distract them from achieving their goal while at CUIB.
He said the offices of the institution are open for all students and that if they have challenges, they should not be afraid to knock at the relevant office(s) that can help address their challenges as CUIB main objective is to ensure that the students are at the center of everything which is why CUIB train job creators and not job seekers.
