Tradex, one of the largest distributors of fuel and other hydrocarbon products in Cameroon has extended its fast growing network to Tombel in the Kupe Muanenguba Division in the Southwest Region of Cameroon. The official launch of the Tombel Tradex Station took place on Friday March 10 at the entrance to Tombel on the Re-unification road under the patronage of the Divisional Officer for Tombel Nyam Leonard Njowun.

This important move towards developing Tombel was realised through the National Hydrocarbons Prize Stabilisation Fund headed by Mr Elung Paul Che.

Speaking during the occasion, the DO for Tombel said the gesture was proof of the fact that Elung Paul Che and other elites of the area had the development of Tombel at heart. Referring to Elung Paul Che as the light, the Salt and the way to development in the area the administrator said this development came as a result of the unalloyed support for President Paul Biya and the New Deal Regime in place and called on everyone in Tombel to follow suit.

Cognizant of the bad road network in Tombel Sub Division he said work on the Tombel – Kumba road was ongoing with the tracing and marking process.

The First Deputy Mayor of Tombel, Hypolite Ngalame said this was a Milestone in the history of Tombel and went ahead to thank Elung Paul Che, the Director of the National  Hydrocarbons  Price Stabilisation Fund for making this possible through his connection with SNH.  He said he appreciated the fact that Tombel had been taken into consideration in the efforts to stabilise petrol prices and to make the precious product more affordable in Tombel.

 Ngalame Frankline, speaking on behalf of the Director of HPSF said it took FCFA 600 million for the project to be realised. He further said a three faced transformer to stabilize electricity supply in the area had been installed and that a reasonable number of jobs had been created in Tombel thus impacting directly on the quality of life of people in the area.

The station he said belonged to the state of Cameroon while Tradex would use its expertise to exploit the facility.
