The owner of Dash Media was speaking on November 4, during the matriculation ceremony of the 2022/23 batch of students at the prestigious university. The entrepreneur told the matriculating students to hold firm onto the knowledge and skills they will gain from ICT University, to become entrepreneurs and big business creators in the country in the years to come. The ICT University is the leading institution in imparting technology-transformative knowledge and skills in Cameroon. It aims to train youngsters with skills that prepare them and the country for the ever-changing world.

I think you are the chosen generation. You have specific gifts and qualities that you haven't reached for. You have all that it takes, because, before me, I see potential entrepreneurs.” “Nobody should tell you that you can't do it. You are going to do great things because quality education is the foundation of growth and you are at the right place.” Bony Dashaco added: “You need to work hard because you are the future job creators so you need to do your job well. Like a bamboo tree, you need to hold your roots firm to sprout. Take advantage of this great vision and become the Maya Angelou of your life.” [caption id="attachment_102117" align="alignnone" width="1080"] Prof Emmanuel Pondi, ICT University’s Vice Chancellor[/caption] With a plethora of programs at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels, including diploma and certification programs, the ICT University offers a dynamic and flexible learning environment that inspires innovation and creativity and places emphasis on student access. The ICT University prides itself on offering an intimate, cutting-edge campus environment disposing of all resources essential for producing tomorrow’s leading ICT experts, technopreneurs, renewable energy engineers, and business managers. The university has also created collaborations, partnerships and exchange agreements with leading US, African and other international institutions that further enrich the academic, social and cultural diversity of our campus. The ICT University according to its founder Prof Victor Mbarika has the vision to transform young minds so that they can fit into an ever-changing world that is highly driven by digitisation. "We don't want to be an academic institution for theory,” Prof Victor Mbarika told reporters. “We don't hire or keep anyone who doesn't keep hands-on teaching technology and it is not only for our IT students but even our business students, and education students. All of them must take certification from the technology department. This is because sooner or later, what people are doing today will be all technology." Prof Emmanuel Pondi, ICT University’s Vice Chancellor, on his part was grateful to the students for choosing ICT University as the best place to acquire knowledge and skills and said:  "We are thankful to you for choosing the ICT University amongst the many other institutions around the country.”
