Work on Bamenda Hospital project begins soon

The Commission that oversee the construction of the Bamenda Referral Hospital has been confirmed by Elanga Oban George, head of the Prime Ministerial Commission.

The Elanga led commission disclosed the proposed site at Mile 5 Nkwen and endorsed it. The construction project according to the head of the commission is estimated at FCFA 15 billion, accompanied by a Low-cost Housing Project also estimated at FCFA 5 billion.

Before leaving Bamenda, the head of the Commission told journalists that the laying of the foundation stone will take place early next month. Classified sources say Philemon Yang is likely to be the high profile personality to lay the foundation stone early next month.

Compensations have been disbursed to owners of properties that would be affected by the project. The disbursements we gathered were done through bank transactions.

Some seven graves on the project site, we gathered would be transferred this weekend to pave way for the construction work that will begin soon.

This is so because according some hints, this Bamenda construction project is considered a pilot phase of a nationwide project.
