Archbishop Esua welcomes Fulbright scholar to "CATUC"

In 2008, Archbishop led the efforts to establish the first Catholic university in the Northwest province of Cameroon–the Catholic University of Cameroon, serving as its founding Chancellor. Known locally and affectionately by its acronym “CATUC,” the university opend its doors in the fall of 2010 with a rich variety of graduate and undergraduate programs, including the Humanities, Science, Engineering, Health Sciences (in Kumbo), Business and Agriculture.

200 lbs of books donated by Fairfield University are accepted by Archbishop Esua

My colleagues at Fairfield University generously donated surplus textbooks which have been greatfully welcomed by the students and the CATUC librarian, Viban Ngo. Most students cannot afford textbooks and rely extensively on lecture notes. Archbishop Esua formally accepted these donations to CATUC.
