We at Hilltopvoices this week celebrates with joy Rev Fr Akem Evaristus Ndi Sch. P. following his election as Provincial Superior of the Piarist Fathers for Central African; a function he will be the first black or African to handle. He was elected last week at the close of their chapter meeting that held in Yaounde. He is charged with overseeing Piarist Communities in Cameroon, Gabon, Equitorial Guinea and now Congo. Born in Fuanantui of Kum Country in Boyo Division on the 1st of March, 1969, Rev Fr Akem Evaristus was ordained on the 11th of June 2005 in the Bamenda St Joseph Metropolitan Cathedral to serve as a Priest of the Bamenda Archdiocese. Prior to his appointments he was Formation Master at the
Saint Raphael Formation House,
Romajai Kumbo where candidates begin their journey to Priesthood in the Piarist Order in Cameroon. He takes over from Rev Fr Javier Negro who has occupied the function for two years after the erection of a Province for Central Africa in 2012.
