Apostolic Nuncio rules in Buea Diocese dispute, gives Apostolic Administrator upper hand

There has been a conflict of interest at the Catholic University Institute of Buea, CUIB after the Apostolic Administrator changed its president.

Father George Nkeze had expressed his dissatisfaction, with Barrister Sobe Clive accusing the Apostolic Administrator of misuse of power.

The Apostolic Nuncio has now ruled over the matter, stating that the Apostolic Administrator, Bishop Michael Bibi was right. In a June 15 declaration, the Apostolic Nuncio, Julio Murat says Michael Bibi “is having jurisdiction within the Diocese of Buea to act for and on behalf of the Diocese of Buea in all matters concerning the diocese of Buea and all other institutions belonging to the diocese.”

He adds: “the same apostolic administrator is responsible for all the temporal goods and patrimony of the diocese of Buea and of all diocesan institutions …”

The recent move puts to rest worries over the authority of the Apostolic Administrator accused of limiting the bank accounts of the CUIB, among other actions.
