Prof Emmanuel Pondi underscored that the grabbing of these awards by students of the ICT University is a testament to the ambition and vision of the institution to stand tall in contributing to national development.

One of the laureates, Nguena Zebs who developed an application known as Hustlin geared towards assisting visually impaired students to better follow up their studies mostly digitally was among those recognised. Nguena dream is to see students living with disabilities continue their studies despite constraints.

“We came up with this Application because we noticed that so many visually impaired students abandoned their studies because of the difficulties in following up lessons. So we are creating this application so that it will help them follow up lessons and not give up on their studies”, the founder of Huslin said.

Another Laureate, Anzia Juvis who developed an application known as IntelliBra – an ultrasound technology for the detection of early breast cancer was another person who was honoured.

She said: “We are aware of the ravaging effects of breast cancer. So this app is to help women detect breast cancer in its early stages so that it can be treated with ease”.

Communion With Media Partners

The event also presented an opportunity for the ICT University to wish a happy new year to its media partners. The institution thanked the media for fruitful collaboration with the institution and expressed the wish to continue in a win-win partnership.

The Vice Chancellor of the ICT University, Prof Emmanuel Pondi, noted that the media plays a great role in the development of the school. “We want to use this opportunity to thank our press partners for always being by us in our events. We don’t do our things in camera because we like the world to know what we are doing and thanks to the press we are able to achieve that. So we want to continue working with them as we continue to contribute in our own little way to the technological development of Cameroon,” Pondi remarked.
