The thesis i defended was on land law . It examined the role of heads of administrative unit in the management of land rights from the human rights which the international community must uphold.

My thesis dueled on Chieftaincy succession problems in Bakweri land in the South West Region of Cameroon. It showed how the British policy of indirect rule help in giving birth to the chieftaincy succession problems we are observing today in most chiefdoms. The colonial authorities met traditional chiefdoms but transformed them to administrative chiefdoms. The thesis proposes solutions to such problems today

The course we did here prepares us to fit in any area of service as general administrators. Holders of the general administration diploma are absorbed into the Cameroon public servicve as administrative officers and can serve in any ministerial department. We are inter-ministerial.
