J. Nazy Ngha EBUA is a staff member of the Independent Healthcare Consultants, Inc. and also works with Riverside Community Care, Inc., both located in Massachusetts, USA. His career field is Behavioral Medicine, with a concentration in Psychoanalysis and Psycho-pharmacology.

Nazy’s education began at the St. Martin’s Primary School in Wum, Menchum, Cameroon. His secondary school education was done at Sacred Heart College, Makon-Bamenda, Cameroon. He later on attended the Government Nursing and Midwifery School in Bamenda. Upon graduation in 1975 he worked as a surgical staff nurse at the Nkambe Divisional Hospital and subsequently as a compound / operating room nurse at the Ekona Government Hospital until 1978. Nazy later immigrated to the United States for further studies after an unprecedented long stopover in Nigeria.

Nazy holds a Bachelor’s degree with a dual major in Political Science and Pre-Med Studies from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. He also earned a Master’s degree in Urban Affairs and Planning, with a Public Administration interest, from Boston University. Nazy is a graduate of the Spartan Health Sciences University School of Medicine in St. Lucia, West Indies, where he once served as the president of the Student Government Association.

During his stay in the United States, Nazy has been an involved member of several cultural, student and alumni organizations. He has served on the advisory board of the Sacred Heart Ex-Students Association (SHESA-USA) and participated as a committee chairman in the planning committees of the Sacred Heart College jubilee celebrations in 2011. He served as an influential Vice President of the Cameroon Students Association (CAMSA-USA) from 1987 to 1989. He is a founding member of the Menchum Family Association (MENFA-USA) and served as its president for two years. He is also a founding member of the Aghem Family and Development Association (AFADA-USA) and currently serves as its president.

Despite his long-term stay in the diaspora, Nazy has through the years remained a cherished lover and consultant of his Aghem and native Cameroonian cultures and their institutions. His revered status as “Dua” and “Buatshong”, respectively, in Aghem traditional institutions have both been enhanced through formal sacred initiation into them as required by those institutions’ set policies and bylaws. Such and other qualities have only gone on to reinforce Nazy’s beliefs and influence in the Aghem community and community participatory development as strong ingredients of urbanization and urban growth; a dream he senses in the present Aghem-Wum community. His belief and hope is that FOCODEV will remain a treasured dream child for the development of Aghem-Wum.
