The handing over ceremony took place at
the esplanade of the Bamenda II Sub Divisional Council today December 18, 2015
in the presence of Chairman Ni John Fru Ndi and the Di visional Officer for
Bamenda II.
The multimedia equipment worth FCFA 10
million donated by Orange Cameroon is as the result of the champions’ league of
the 2015 Orange Football club championship won by Atua-Azire Football club. The
equipment handed to the mayor of Bamenda II Council Balick Awah Fidelis were
made up of 10 desktop computers, 10 tables and chairs, an Orange Flybox, an
internet connector of 1 Megabyte per month for a period of 12 months.
Balick Awah Fidelis said that when he
got the letter informing him that his municipality has won that equipment worth
FCFA 10 million, he almost took it for joke given that if “the winner of the
Cameroon cup gets FCFA 10 million, how can a local cup organized be worth FCFA
10 million”. He continued that what he thought to be a dream started concretizing
when they crushed Bafut in the final on August 15, 2015 to emerge champion in
the North West Region. “Today I now have faith in Orange Cameroon, and do urge
you all here present to have faith in Orange Cameroon” According to Balick Awah
Fidelis, “Orange Cameroon is good, faithful and a trustworthy partner”. He used
the opportunity to plead on the population of Bamenda II council area to
encourage their children, friends and loved ones to trust orange for it never
fails. He expressed gratitude to the General Manager of Orange Cameroon for the
timely support which according to the mayor of Bamenda II will improve access
to information in the municipality, reduce underemployment and create jobs.
Before handing the equipment to the
beneficiary, the regional Chief of Orange Cameroon for North West and South
West congratulated the Bamenda II Council adding that the idea is to encourage
the youths as well as football. He said Orange Cameroon has reached over 90% of
Cameroonians and that Orange Cameroon in its corporate social responsibility
shall continue to support development initiatives. After Bamenda, Orange
Cameroon is expected to carryout similar donation in Douala and Yaounde.
