HRH Ntufam Ojang Eno Cyprian has been the chief of Ekok since 2004 following the passing away of his predecessor Ntufam Ntui Jacob Ntui in 2002. The official government Certification and eventual installation took place in 2006. Since then, his reign has been the most productive in terms of animating and empowering both the village and its youths being a youth leader before becoming the chief. This is manifest in the several awards received by Ntufam Ojang Eno.

HRH Ntufam Ojang Eno Cyprian tried his hands in many things before as he is still doing today. As a young man, he had shown interest in becoming a film star. His charming looks and sound oral production got him recruited into a drama group where he acted, recited poetry and played major roles in the troupe that toured not only the North West Region of Cameroon but extended to coasts of the country.
