Fotabe University of Cameroon (FUNIC) was established in 2015 by Dr. Fotabe Elmine and received its official authorization a few months later in 2016. In a strategic move to better serve its growing student body, FUNIC relocated its campus from Buea to Douala in 2018.
FUNIC stands out for its unique study models and programs, designed to meet the evolving needs of modern students and professionals. The university’s approach to education is encapsulated in its motto, “Higher Learning for a Higher Purpose.” This reflects FUNIC’s commitment to not just impart knowledge, but to inspire students to make meaningful contributions to society.
Our Mission:
The mission of FUNIC is clear: “Empowering Ethical Leaders to Transform Institutions and Communities through Intrapreneurial and Entrepreneurial Excellence.”
This mission drives the university’s educational philosophy, focusing on developing leaders with strong ethical foundations who are equipped with both intrapreneurial and entrepreneurial skills.
Our Vision:
FUNIC’s vision is transformative: to see an African society where rare skills are found in common people and where no youth feels compelled to leave home due to poverty. This vision aims to create a future where potential is nurtured, opportunities are abundant, and success stories are the norm.
FUNIC positions itself as an educational pioneer dedicated not only to academic excellence but also to crafting a brighter future for Africa—one ethical leader at a time.
