International Economic Conference:Biya invites Arthur Zang

Initially, the government had made a list that was largely criticized by many people. The list was made up of:

Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission (2004-2014), Chung Un-Chan, Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea (2009-2010) and a doctor in economics, Donald Kaberuka, President of the African Development Bank (2005-2015) Pascal Lamy, Director General of the World Trade Organisation (2005-2013).

Etoudi rectified the situation. In another statement issued on April 21, the Civil Cabinet of the Presidency extended the guest list. This time, there are leaders and decision makers who are still in business, notes the Daily newspaper L’Economie economy (LE) of April 25. Thus, we find the Nigerian Aliko Dangote.

“He is the Nigerian businessman named by Forbes magazine as the richest African in the world, with a fortune estimated at more than $ 25 billion (23rd World fortune). He is also the CEO of Dangote Group (cement, sugar, flour and oil) in 14 African countries – including Cameroon, Brazil and Indonesia, “said LE.

The new list also includes the name of Paul Fokam Kammogne. The Cameroonian billionaire is chairman of Afriland First Bank group. He is also the “initiator of the largest microfinance network in Cameroon,” the newspaper reported. Arthur Zang also received an invitation. This is the young Cameroonian computer engineer, inventor of Cardiopad, digital tablet that allows for remote diagnosis of heart problems.
