The late Mayor Ngong Innocent of Belo

Doctor Ngong Innocent was elected to head the Municipality of Belo in February 2020 and has brought sustainable development to the municipality despite the ravaging crisis.

Belo in the hay days of the Anglophone crisis was noted as one of the red zones with a multiplicity of separatist atrocities.

Since assuming the helm of the council, Mayor Ngong did all to ensure that peace and stability returns, ensuring that economic activities return to the once very busy three corners in Belo.

Before his demise, he was the President of FECAFOOT Boyo and holds a PhD in inorganic Chemistry.
