The Bamenda University and the construction of Hostels to accommodate students.
There is a mad rush to acquire, erect and accommodate the growing population in this vicinity. This is sometime done with substandard material in a bit to maximise profit and to meet up with the urgent demand. With the advent of the newly created University of Bamenda, businessmen and women are grapping this opportunity to make some extra cash from what is commonly referred to as 'Mini Cite' or students' hostels. It is unfortunate to note that a mad rush of this nature comes with a lot of hurdles and misfortune for some. This is the case of a fifty-four rooms uncompleted hostel which crumbled some two months ago at Atuniba quarter.

It is important to note that
this unfortunate incident happened on a faithful Sunday morning at about 10am GMT local
time. The good new however, is that no life was lost. It is needless
to say it was a huge cost of materials damage.
The turning point of the whole drama was the visit of top government officials including the governor of the region. And the consoling part of the tragedy to both students and the inhabitants of the locality is that appropriate measures have been put in place to check on the quality of materials used for construction henceforth. LONG LIVE CAMEROON
