Chief Ayamba was born around 1927 at Ekonemana Awa in the Eyumojock Sub Division of the South West Region. He became the vice chairman of the SCNC in 2004 until his death
He attended Government School Mamfe Town, left to Abeakuta in Western Nigeria, where he took a professional course in store keeping. After the completion of his course he was employed as a store keeper with Public Works Department (PWD) in the then west Cameroon. He was later on blessed with the position of the first Workers Trade Unionist still in the then west Cameroon where he led a delegation to Lagos.
The urge to defend the plight of the common man pushed him into becoming a Human Rights Activist where he later joined the SCNC in 2004 and took over from the late Martin Ngeka Luma as the chairman of the SCNC.
HRH Chief Ayamba lives behind a wife, many children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and the SCNC comrades to mourn him.
