The town of Bambili today December 4, 2021, was the scene of a development and cultural revival thanks to the clairvoyant leadership of His Majesty, Fon Afungchui III, the coordination of Eric Adangfung, President General of the Bambili Cultural and Development Association, and the insightful inputs of Hon. agho Oliver, MP for Tubah/Bafut constituency, as kith and kin gathered round to take up the challenge and raise the much-needed funds for phase II of the giant Bili water project. Estimated to cost 600 million Fcfa for the Water to be harnessed from Lake Bambili to supply all 40 villages plus the fast growing University community, this day's launch saw the MP from the area harnessing resources from patrons and friends from far and near; including H.Es Atanga Paul Nji who coughed in 600000, Mbayu Felix, 100000, Mr/MrsJustice Malegho,500000, Mr/Mrs Tamajong, 100000, Mr Monju Johnson Vishi, 100000, Ngwakongo Lawrence, 25000, and Mme Jessica Newi Lengha, 100000. This came to add to Hon. agho Oliver's personal contribution of 300000, a contribution the Fon and the Bambili population highlighted, given he was already named the Bambili hunter by the Fon. Reason-why he had to cut Short His stay in Yaounde as Parliament scrutinizes the 2022 state Budget to personally take part at the giant water project fundraiser.
While eternally indebted to Hon. agho Oliver and all those who turned out for the fundraiser. Eric Adangfung, President General of the Mbili Cultural and Development Association, main organizer of the event contributed the sum of 5000000 Fcfa, with Tubah Mayor, Tanjong Martin personally contributing 1million and pledging close to 47million on behalf of Tubah Council. North West Governor, Adolphe Lele L'Afrique marked His stamp of approval to the water project with the sum of 100000 while the Mezam SDO personally donated 200000, with promises of more government support. The New Tubah D.O that was presented to the Public by Hon. agho Oliver, MP for Tubah/Bafut, to a thunderous applause, contributed the modest sum of 50000 fcfa, while Bambili Fon Afungchui launched the royal basket with a symbolic 250000, awaiting full fledge contributions from all 40 quarters that make up Bambili village. Fundraiser was according to organizers, more an opportunity to Celebrate the return of peace and normalcy to Bambili, than just gathering money for a water project, for as they put It, no meaningful development without peace.
