Meet Marc Njoh, a crown attorney with Nova Scotia’s Public Prosecution Service. The 38-year-old native of Cameroon is dedicated to fighting for justice both in Canada and in his native country. DAVID JALA/CAPE BRETON POSTSYDNEY, N.S. — Two decades after a failed attempt to reach Europe over the dangerous trans-Saharan migration route, Cameroon native Marc Njoh couldn’t be happier about his present state of affairs.
“I was very little but I remember the protests in the street, I remember the water cannons,” he recalled. It was after high school that Njoh first demonstrated his strong resolve to better himself through education. “My target was Calgary because when I was doing some crude research before coming to Canada I saw that the city was in a boom then. I saw that dishwashing jobs paid $16 an hour, so after translating that into Cameroon money I thought this must be the place to go.”
Njoh also led a Dal law school initiative called “Out of the Cold” in which led a group of law students volunteers to attend homeless shelters once a week and to provide free legal information. Njoh will, of course, be cheering for both Cameroon and Canada. But he’ll be doing his initial cheering, at least during the Indomitable Lions first game Thursday against Switzerland, from Cambodia where he is attending a humanitarian relief conference.
