History
Ekwele Lobe Nwalipenja was a Cameroonian teacher and government official. Nwalipenja was November 26, 1930 at Lobe Batanga in the Ndian division of what is now Cameroon. He attended elementary school in Kurumeh and Kumba, going on to study at the Government Teachers Training College, Kumba, in 1950 and then to Bambili where he studied rural science in 1958. He worked as a school manager from 1961 to 1964. In 1964 he was awarded a scholarship from the Presbyterian Church in Canada, where he travelled at the age of 35 to study at St. Paul's University College in Waterloo, Ontario, leaving a wife and four children in Cameroon. He graduated from St. Paul's with a Bachelor of Arts in history and political science in 1966, returning to Cameroon where he went on to spend the remainder of his career in various government roles. He served as Secretary for all council schools of what was then West Cameroon in 1967, and a year later was appointed Education Officer in the North West Province. In 1972 he was appointed Secretary of State of the economic division of the Prime Minister's office and went on to serve as Member of Parliament for Ndian Division, among other roles, including Minister Plenipotentiary.
