| Buinda Godlove Nsakabo |
By Christopher Ambe
It is said that "nothing hides
under the sun”. That is why the good works of Buinda Godlove Nsakabo, one of
the regional delegates of state-owned services in the Southwest region could
not escape the vigilant eyes of the LIFE TIME MEDIA GROUP, headquartered in Bamenda,
which for years now has been rewarding exemplars in the public and private sectors of Cameroon.
Buinda Godlove Nsakabo, aged
about 54, who holds a Master’s degree in Public Management and is rated as a no-nonsense
agent of development, has since 2018 been
the Southwest Regional Delegate for Economy, Planning and Regional Development
(MINEPAT), Southwest, braving the odds ,maximally
,to perform his assigned duties.
Described by many public service
watchers- and even by his peers ,as a meticulous worker, Mr.Buinda was singled out by the Life Time media Group for its Life
Time Achievement Awards for Nation Builders 2019/2020 as“The Most Committed and Hardworking Regional
Delegate (Southwest Region.” The awards
organizers, last July 15 in Buea, honored him with a gold-category award.
But it looks like receiving
public recognition for assiduity has, at least,in the past three or so years,
become a tradition to Buinda.
In 2017, The
SCOOP Newspaper, based in Kumba, honored him with an award as “Best Divisional
Delegate 2017, Meme”; in 2018, the State of Cameroon honored him as “Knight of the
Cameroon Order of Merit” for his commitment to nation-building.
Even in the distant past,
Buinda had been recognized severally: In 2008, he emerged “Best Divisional
Delegate of MINEPAT Northwest Province and four years later, Mr. Buinda ranked
as “Third Best Divisional Delegate of MINEPAT Northwest Province.”
This Life Time 2019/2020 laureate
, before his elevation to the rank of Regional Delegate of MINEPAT,Southwest in March 2018 ,had served as MINEPAT Meme
Divisional Delegate from 2013 to 2018;served as MINEPAT Menchum Divisional
Delegate from 2008 to 2013; Mr.Buinda had earlier served as the Ministry of Planning, Programming and Regional
Development(MINPLAPDAT) Menchum-Wum Delegate from 2000 to 2008
Calm-looking Mr.Buinda,who is a Baptist (Christian),
father and husband, “loves serving others with total humility and dedication”,
one of his admirers said of him,adding that he is always neatly dressed and
soft-spoken.
According
to Mrs. Tchouateu Tankeu Stephanie, Southwest Regional Chief for Economic
Affairs and Programming (MINEPAT),”Since Mr. Buinda became Regional Delegate
here in 2018, we have been learning a lot from him about nation-building. He
deserves more [recognition.”
An elite of Nwa (Donga Mantung Division),Mr.Buinda
is also an active member of the ruling
CPDM and Councilor of Nwa Council.
Mr.Buinda as a long-serving
“public manger”, has, among other academic and professional qualifications, a
Professional Master’s degree in Public Management, from the Higher Institute of
Public Management (ISMP) Yaounde since 2016.
Fluent in English and
French, he is highly skilled in project management and evaluation, which expertise
Mr. Buinda has readily put at the service of the nation-and reportedly to the
satisfaction of hierarchy.
He has been to foreign countries
such as France, Nigeria and China, on state mission, in pursuit of more skills
for the enhancement of development in Cameroon; for example, in 2010 and 2017,
Mr. Buinda was in China, for training sessions on investment promotion and
management for Developing countries.
Banking on his resourcefulness,
availability, probity and patriotism, Mr.Buinda’s admirers think that,
there is no state assignment, which when entrusted into his hands won’t be
executed according to prescriptions and expectations.
President Barack Obama is
quoted to have said: “In the face of impossible odds, people who love [their]
country can change it.”
Mr. Buinda’s admirers liken
him to the kind of patriot President Obama described above.
All about Mr. Buinda not
only concerns work, his hobbies include: reading and research, sport,
philanthropic activities and leisure travels
