In 2002, Njeuma became the first female airline pilot in Cameroon and in Central Africa more broadly. She is also considered the first female Kwe airline pilot.[4][5][6] After initially working for the now-defunct Cameroon Airlines, flying small Beechcraft planes between Douala and Yaoundé,[4][5] she has flown a Boeing 737 for Camair-Co since it commenced operations in 2011.[4][7] As of its launch, she was also the only woman pilot employed by the airline.[7]
