Peter Agbor-Tabi - Minister, Deputy Secretary General at the Presidency:

Professor Agbortabi listens to speakers at the 2008 Eyumojock Conference.
Born in February 1951 in Mamfe, South West Province, the new Minister, Deputy Secretary General at the Presidency, is an Associate Professor who among others obtained a Ph.D in International Studies, University of South Carolina, Columbia, USA in 1982 and a Fulbright Scholar in Residence-Spellman College, Atlanta, GA, USA between September 1983 and May 1984.



Peter Agbor-Tabi has held several positions in the administration including post of Deputy Director of the International Relations Institute of Cameroon (IRIC), Director of IRIC, Chancellor, University of Yaoundé, Rector, University of Yaoundé, Minister of Higher Education and Pro-Chancellor, University of Buea. At the moment of his present appointment, he was Head of Department International Economics and the Board Chairman of the University of Yaoundé II. He is member of the Central Committee of the CPDM.

Relatives and friends came spontaneously to greet the news of his appointment almost a few minutes after it was released. The celebration was calm and disciplined for reasons one could imagine. After 12 years off government, it was almost becoming clear; he had been "forgotten". But the Head of State in his usual style dismissed such hypothesis by bringing him back and even closer to himself.



Peter Agbor-Tabi himself in his reaction immediately after the appointment stated inter alia how grateful he is to be remembered 12 years after. "I am grateful but it is a very difficult moment and I do promise that I will use all my energy to assist the Head of State and the Prime Minister, Head of Government to achieve the goals and the policies of the President", he said. In this light, he promised to work diligently with everything the President assigns him, with the belief that his role is to assist the President to succeed in his mission.
