The Proprietor of Holy Cross International College, HCIC Yaounde, Emmanuel Buban Ngu has called on graduating students in High School to stay focus on their dreams and never to give up as they open a new chapter in their educational carrier.
Emmanuel Buban Ngu made the call on May 18 in Yaounde during the 11th graduation ceremony for the National Section and the first ceremony for the International Section.
“Above all,” Mr. Ngu advised, “remember to stay focused on your dreams and never give up. Let your passion guide your path forward, and let hard work and discipline be your companions.”
He acknowledged the challenges graduates will face as they transition to greater independence. “The road ahead may be challenging,” he said, “as you navigate choices concerning freedom, movement, and association. Remember, with every action comes a great deal of responsibility.”
Mr. Ngu encouraged graduates to find strength in God during difficult times. “It may be daunting to realize you are on your own, making your own choices,” he said. “But remember, in times of difficulty, turn to God for guidance and success in your endeavors.”
Looking towards the future of HCIC, Buban Ngu highlighted ongoing development projects. “The Football Academy is progressing steadily,” he announced, “and for the primary school project, we are still working our strategies.”
He stressed HCIC’s unwavering commitment to education. “Our core objective remains the same: to provide a holistic education that emphasizes academic excellence, discipline, and moral rectitude.”
HCIC is a co-educational boarding Anglo-Saxon Catholic-styled college situated on over seven hectares of land along the Yaoundé-Akonolinga Trans-African highway, five km from the Nkoabang junction.
