Yaoundé International Business School (YIBS) has once again proven itself as a leader in quality education in Cameroon. On Saturday, July 5th, 2025, at the prestigious Mountain Hotel in Buea, YIBS was awarded the title of Best Quality Higher Institution in Cameroon by the Cameroon English Newspaper Association (CENPA) during its 2nd edition of the CENPA Awards.
This recognition is a strong endorsement of YIBS’s commitment to delivering high-impact academic programs, nurturing innovation, and producing graduates who are not just job seekers — but job creators and entrepreneurial leaders.
YIBS has consistently positioned itself as a top private university in Cameroon with a focus on industry-relevant skills, practical training, and global partnerships.
