PRESS RELEASE
Professor Victor Mbarika launches a fund to support the media in Cameroon.
In preparation for World Press Freedom Day (May 3, 2026), the President of The ICT University, Professor Victor Mbarika, has launched a FCFA 100 million support fund to assist journalists in Cameroon.
Many journalists continue to work under very difficult conditions, with limited resources and declining advertising revenue. This initiative aims to provide direct support to media professionals across the country.
Prof. Mbarika has already contributed FCFA 5 million and is calling on 19 additional businessmen and women to each contribute FCFA 5 million, so the fund can reach the target of FCFA 100 million before May 3.
Contributions must be made ONLY through ICT University official channels:

Management of Breaking News. A Yaounde-based bilingual weekly sees this move by Professor Victor Mbarika as a very laudable initiative in a country where pressmen and women have been reduced to beggars despite the taxes they pay. Kudos Prof.
