Family and friends celebrating
Mayor Paul Achobong urged the city dwellers to embrace peace for greater achievements within the Bamenda city. " I am happy for this honour that the state has given me. Its all thanks to the collaboration I get from the city dwellers within the Municipality but I also think alot more would have been archived if everyone was involved in the development process of this city through the efforts of the city council. Waste management had been a challenge with seperatist fighters attacking at dump sites, attacks during construction works which have all created fear even for companies that were will to execute jobs and contracts for the city council. I seize this opportunity to call on parents to educate their child on the advantages of peace and what it brings to the people" Paul Achobong told the Observer
This decoration is a testament to Mayor Achobong's dedication to public service delivery and his commitment to improving the lives of Bamenda's denizens.
