Prof. Teketel Yohannes is currently Chief Executive Director of Ethiopian Academy of Sciences (EAS). He was among the founding staff of Chemistry Department at the former Bahir Dar Teachers College (Peda). In this video, he narrates why Peda and Poly merged to grow to BDU than Blue Nile University. He also discusses the special effort of Dr. Demissie Manahilot in shaping young instructors behavior and developing the college. In his speech, he emphasized the meaningful and intimate relationship that existed between administrative and academic staff in his 16 years of service at Peda.

He generally described how much Bahir Dar Teachers College and Bahir Dar city have impacted his life, from his family (forming spouse relationships and having four children) to his professional life (earning his Masters and Doctoral degrees).

This made him always feel like returning back to home whenever attending academic and research deliverables at the university. He was also grateful for all these and recognized the good times he had with the college community.

Lastly, he called all those who worked in Peda to come and celebrate BDU'S and Peda's Diamond and Gold Jubilee celebrations respectively.
