Tanyi Nixson Ngoh, an illustrious son of Ebonji, Tombel Sub Division, Kupe Muanenguba Division, South West Region, has been honored with an award as the Knight of the Cameroon Order of Valor.
The ceremony to award medals for meritorious and distinct services to some Cameroonians in different spheres, took place at the Unity Palace on April 1, 2026.

While affixing the medal on Tanyi Nixson, the Minister, Director of the Civil Cabinet of Cameroon, Samuel Mvondo Ayolo congratulated him and disclosed that the award reflects his outstanding contributions and dedication to the state.
Speaking to The Ultimate at the end of the ceremony, Tanyi Nixson said he was excited to receive a medal of this magnitude in his 30s.
“This incredible honor is a testament to the power of hard work and dedication. I sincerely thank the Head of State, H.E. Paul Biya for this recognition and my family, mentors, and collaborators for their unwavering support.
