Cabinet Meeting: This is What President Biya Told Ministers

President Paul Biya has held a cabinet meeting with his new team appointed on March 2, 2018. This was surely the first time some of the newly appointed ministers were meeting with the head of state face-face. One of the top item during the cabinet meeting had to do with the government roadmap and the road to emergence. President Biya told cabinet ministers that “It is necessary to pursue the smooth implementation of the Programme concluded with the IMF. There is also an urgent need to finalize the implementation of major structuring projects, the Emergency Growth Acceleration Plan and the Special Youth Plan.

The operationalization of the Kribi Deep Sea Port and the second bridge over the Wouri augur well in that regard”.

He reiterated the fact that much remains to be done as far as community services such as water supply, electricity, health, road infrastructures…, are concerned.

Paul Biya also added that the creation of a ministry for decentralization and local development was to provide quick solution to the population’s recurring needs. “In the short term, I am expecting detailed proposals and a timeline for fast-tracking the on-going decentralization process”, he concluded.
