All of the students accepted the offers of scholarship. However, Ayenew Yenesew, who was admitted for the Masters programme in Power Systems at the University of Buea, later declined the offer. By the time the MASTET Coordinator was informed of Mr. Ayenew’s change of decision, it was too late to take any candidate from the waiting list.
