motorable road. He also disclosed that when MINEPAT requested for an emergence
project for the municipality, electricity was chosen as the main priority
project and that in the years to come, Misaje town shall see the light of the
day. He also talked of the tarring of the Bamenda ring road which will soon get
to Misaje and that the Kimbi Game Reserve shall be transformed into a national
park that will extend to Misaje, Dumbu, Nyos and Lake Oku. On education, he
said Ako/Misaje has the highest number of secondary schools and benefited from a
lot of development projects due to their loyalty in the CPDM and that those who
will follow them will reap the fruits. On the scholarship Fund he personally
promotes, he disclosed that this year, the programme shall focus its resources
in supporting those who want to write competitive examinations into
professional schools. Dr. Fuh Calistus while presenting the new MP for
Ako/Misaje described Hon Abe Michael as a dynamic young man who talks with
action. He said marriage Ako/Misaje that of truth, trust and honesty and Hon.
