NW gets FCFA 50bn worth emergency projects

A high-powered delegation from the Prime Ministry headed by the chairman of the execution committee for emergency projects, Elanga Obam Georges, who is Technical Adviser at the PM’s office was in Bamenda on 12 March 2015 to make public the package for North West.

Accompanied by Governor Lele L’afrique Adolphe and the SDO for Mezam, Nguele Nguele Felix, the head of mission paid a site visit to the area reserved for the construction of a referral hospital and low-cost houses in Bamenda III Sub-Division.

During a working session at the Governor’s conference hall, Elanga Obam George explained how this emergency plan project looks like and that it shall be executed concomitantly with those of the national budget.

The package has road constructions, electricity expansion, and provision of boreholes, construction of low-cost houses, classrooms and medical facilities. Of the 4000 boreholes for the entire nation, North West would have 100 constructed in needy communities in the rural areas. The referral hospital would cost the State FCFA 15 billion and low-cost houses would cost FCFA 5 billion.

The committee chair called on the Government Delegate to the Bamenda City to accompany the project realisation by providing access roads to areas earmarked for project execution.

The emergency projects are equally aimed at developing border towns by means of providing access roads and electricity expansion. To the beneficiary population, Elanga beckoned on everybody to be participatory in the project executions which are a special package from the Head of State to ensure emergence by 2035.

He appraised the excitement with which the beneficiary stakeholders are beaming with expectation, meaning the emergency projects are highly welcomed.
