“We must mobilize every financial and human resource to carry out our projects” Lord Mayor Ndu

Bunyui Emmanuel Nguyab, Mayor of the Ndu Council in Donga Mantung Division has declared that every financial and human resource should be mobilized to ensure that earmarked projects for 2018 are realised. He was speaking during the council session dedicated to the deliberation and adoption of the 2018 draft budget. To succeed in doing this, he said there should be “focused planning and collaboration amongst the council executive, between the executive and the staff, the executive and the councilors, the council and the administration, the council and traditional authorities, the council and business community so that all forces of development should come on board as we strive to improve the lot of our people.”

Cognizant of the economic downturn as a result of the sociopolitical crises that marred economic activities in the two English Speaking Regions, certain council activities the mayor said had been trimmed down. With the resultant trimming down of work force there will be an accompanying encouragement of multi-tasking.

Despite the gloomy backdrop against which the session took place the draft budget being examined for 2018 financial year stood at an unprecedented one billion and seventy seven million FCFA. This budget the mayor intimated increased from 860.000.000 FCFA in 2017 to the present sum in 2018. He attributed this increase to conventions with development partners. Estimated local revenue of the council stands at 372.760.000 FCFA while 535.555.423 FCFA the mayor said will come from FEICOM and 54.295.218 FCFA from PNDP.

While thanking one of the council development partners ESERVI Yaounde for a contingent of 13600 books that the council benefitted from a forth night prior to the session, the mayor hinted that from January major works that will be effected within the municipality will include the installation of solar street lights in Ndu and at main junctions in the Fondoms, the rehabilitation of water tanks and solar pumps, the construction of a market hanger and warehouse at Ntundip and the construction of six classrooms, 03 offices and 03 toilets.

The session was presided over by the Seniour Divisional Officer for Donga Mantung Division Simon Nkwenty accompanied by a host of local administrators and service heads from within the Division.
