The father
of four, holder of a masters degree and a rich career takes over the top
function at the city council at the time Bamenda's economic life is limping. The
Hygiene and sanitation of the city is deplorable with the cleaning company
facing multiple challenges from belligerents in the ongoing armed conflict. He
will be expected to take initiatives not only to improve revenue collection but
also to improve on the hygiene and sanitation and the general disorder of the
city especially in the commercial motorcycle sector and parking arrangements in
town which hitherto were handled by parking meters which functioning has been
greatly compromised by the armed conflict. He also comes at the time the
implementation of the C2D projects expected to give a facelift to the city seems
not to be taking off just. Water and electricity are epileptic in the town just
like many other basic services like street lights. Though with an
administrative function, the SG will be expected to assist the city delegate and
other municipal mayors to seek a lasting solution to these challenges.
