Nyah Pilate, Treasurer of the Ntemyam Co-operative Credit Union NTEMCCUL has declared that through the medium of this Co-operative which assembles a cross section of the elite of Anyajua in Boyo Division, development initiatives were going to be supported. Speaking in a press briefing recently at the Head Office in Bamenda, Nyah Pilate said NTEMCCUL would foster development in the communities of Anyajua and other communities in Cameroon that had bought their idea and become members of this initiative of the sons and daughters of Anyajua.
The development efforts he said will be supported in the form of “pre-financing of development projects in our member communities and development projects of our individual members.”
Also earmarked he said was the creation of employment for youths and the giving out of loans to member communities and individuals preferably School fees loans, Agricultural loans, Social loans amongst others at very low interest rates.
Nyah Pilate said the word Ntemyam was a nickname of the Anyajua people which originated from the Second World War. This he explained was when a German Commander was killed at Tumuku, one of the nine communities that make up Anyajua. The Ntemyam Co-operative Credit Union he said was created by the sons and daughters of the nine communities that make up Anyajua. The first step he said was the creation of a WhatsApp group that assembled all these sons daughters in Cameroon and abroad. This Social Media Platform focused mostly on development issues and it was in this manner that the idea of a micro finance.
“When this idea came up from the Rural Development Engineers of Anyajua and I am one of them, it was unanimously voted by all sons and daughters of Anyajua at home, on the national Territory and abroad.”
He further explained that when the first ever consultative meeting was convened leading to it’s creation, the turn out was massive. This lead to the creation of what we refer to today as Ntemyam Co-operative Credit Union NTEMCCUL.
