In memoriam

Let the memory of Daddy Titus be with us forever

Born in 1939 and schooled at the Basel Mission School in Kumbo, he taught as a pupil teacher before training in Nigeria and England, qualifying FCIS, and serving Cameroon for more than two decades as an accountant, Chief of Service and Technical Adviser with the rank of Director. He was a pillar in his family and in the lives of so many loved ones, and he believed in education and technology as the way forward.

He leaves behind his wife Monica Vuzu Minang Fomuso, seven children, 19 grandchildren, daughters and sons in law, and a slew of extended children, family and friends. The Foundation carries his name so that his belief in educational growth continues in the schools of the continent he served.

“God's people never say good bye for the last time.”Written by Titus Ntungwen Fomuso, 2 November 2016
