Born on February 15, 1942 in Garoua, Sadou Hayatou was appointed to the government of Cameroon as Minister of Agriculture in 1984. In 1990, he is appointed Secretary General at the Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon, position he occupies until he is appointed Prime Minister in 1991.

After his stint as Prime Minister, Hayatou became National Director of the Bank of Central African States BEAC, leaving that post on January 1, 2008. Despite the official retirement age at the Bank being 60, reports say Hayatou was kept in his post for five additional years by BEAC Governor.
