Jean Ernest Massena |
The
Minister of Secondary Education, Jean Ernest Massena Ngalle Bihehe has
angrily left Bamenda for Yaounde after attempts to persuade school
reopening in North West and South West Regions flopped woefully.
Surprisingly, Jean Ernest Massena who announced a six day stay in
Bamenda has spent just three days. Initially, he had planned to visit
some schools in Mezam, Ngoketunjia, Bui and Momo, Tuesday and Wednesday
before taking off for Yaounde.
However,
the fact that schools were deserted pushed the two ministers to abort
their trip in the region. The most pathetic of all is that they angrily
left Bamenda without inaugurating some structures earlier programmed. It
is clear that the minister did their best but failed to convince
teachers and parents to send their kids to schools. Schools in the North
West and South West Regions were deserted, reports say. The ministers
who brought promises were shocked that even the chiefs who had promised
to transform selves into teachers were not in schools. Secondary
Education Communication officer who was heard boosting over the phone to
his colleagues in Yaounde how they have solved all the problems almost
collapsed at Ayaba Hotel. He was even unable to pick calls from Yaounde
cronies who were calling to find out the situation in the field.
Streets in the city of Bamenda have been deserted to the point that some
now serve as soccer play grounds for children. It is alleged that the
Minister of Basic Education also arrived Bamenda yesterday night and
allegations are rife at that the Minister of Basic Education also
vamoosed by mid day without visiting a school after having a test of the
realities of Bamenda.
