He was Secretary of State for Territorial Administration from 1985 to 1988 and subsequently served as Deputy Director of the Civil Cabinet of the Presidency.[1] Later, he was appointed as Secretary-General of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on 26 January 2005.[2]

In May 2013, President Biya appointed Baskouda to the newly established Senate. He was one of 30 senators to receive their seats by presidential appointment; the other 70 senators were indirectly elected.
