of essence to students of SOCIAL AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCE

enables students to understand wholly how firms, industries, banks and financial
institutions operate and coexist. with other external banks in both the CEMAC and
the World backs and also with the society at large, thereby instilling in the students
both the morals and charisma not only as legal minds but also to socialize and get
involved in other aspects of life.
