Biya presiding |
The President of the Republic His Excellency Paul BIYA has called on
the Government to work harder and better so as to improve the living
standards of Cameroonians and ensure the smooth hosting of the African
Cup of Nations in 2016 and 2019.
The Head of State gave these and
other firm instructions during the ministerial council meeting that held
on Thursday 15 October 2015 at Unity Palace.
President Paul BIYA
kicked-off the meeting with remarks on the death of pilgrims who went to
Mecca this year. Following the loss of several Cameroonians in the
stampede that occurred there, the Head of State announced that 16
October 2015 will be set aside as a national day of mourning in their
memory. The Head of State also extended once more his condolences to
bereaved families who lost their loved ones in the tragic events before
calling for a minute of silence in their honour.
The Prime
Minister Head of Government, Mr. Philemon YANG was given the floor to
give an update on the situation of the triennial emergency development
plan. He clearly spelt out what has been done so far and what will be
done in the remaining two years of the programme. The Prime Minister
assured the Head of State that the plan was on course and personally
promised to ensure its success.
Also taking the floor was the
Minister of Sports and Physical Education, Mr. Ismaƫl BIDOUNG MKPATT,
who outlined the infrastructure required for the hosting of the women’s
and men’s Africa Cup of Nations in 2016 and 2019 respectively. The
Minister was firm in his conviction that the work was adequately
advanced and the structures will be in place by the required datelines.
The
President of the Republic then gave his firm instructions to the
Government, calling on them to take their responsibilities seriously so
as to deliver on the projects which will improve on the living
conditions of the people.
President Paul BIYA also praised the
efficiency and devotion of the defence and security forces which have
reduced the terrorist group Boko Haram to the shameful tactic of suicide
bombings. The population was also praised for their collaboration which
has gone a long way in making us to score significant victories against
the enemy.
