President Paul Biya has held a cabinet
meeting with his new team appointed on March 2, 2018. This was surely the first
time some of the newly appointed ministers were meeting with the head of state
face-face. One of the top item during the cabinet meeting had to do with the
government roadmap and the road to emergence. President Biya told cabinet
ministers that “It is necessary to pursue the smooth implementation of the
Programme concluded with the IMF. There is also an urgent need to finalize the
implementation of major structuring projects, the Emergency Growth Acceleration
Plan and the Special Youth Plan.
The operationalization of the Kribi Deep
Sea Port and the second bridge over the Wouri augur well in that regard”.
He reiterated the fact that much remains
to be done as far as community services such as water supply, electricity,
health, road infrastructures…, are concerned.
Paul Biya also added that the creation
of a ministry for decentralization and local development was to provide quick
solution to the population’s recurring needs. “In the short term, I am
expecting detailed proposals and a timeline for fast-tracking the on-going
decentralization process”, he concluded.
