Judith Yah Sunday Epouse Achidi then thanked all CAMTEL workers for their dedication, resilience, and daily efforts in keeping the company running and serving the nation. According to her, every call, message, and internet connection depends on the hard work of employees across all departments.
Highlighting the company’s achievements, she praised staff for ensuring reliable telecom services during major international events hosted in Cameroon, including the conference of the World Trade Organization and the recent papal visit. She noted that CAMTEL’s performance during these events demonstrated its importance as a key pillar in the country’s technological and communication system.
The General Manager said the past year has been one of transformation for the company. She explained that CAMTEL is modernizing its operations through digital systems, improving transparency, and strengthening its national fiber network to provide better and more reliable services across the country.
She also announced that the government, under the leadership of Paul Biya, has secured funding worth 108 billion CFA francs from the EXIMBANK of China to expand the national telecom backbone. According to her, this investment will improve connectivity, especially in remote areas, and bring people closer together.

She however warned that with such support comes greater responsibility. She stressed that CAMTEL must improve its performance and maintain high standards.
Addressing internal challenges, the General Manager strongly condemned fraud, misuse of company property, indiscipline, absenteeism, and unethical behavior. She described fraud as a serious problem that harms both the company and the state, warning that those involved will face strict disciplinary and legal actions.
She also cautioned staff against using company time and space for private business activities, stating that such practices reduce productivity and professionalism. In addition, she emphasized the importance of protecting the company’s infrastructure, noting that damage to telecom equipment affects service delivery and impacts many users.
On customer relations, she insisted that all clients must be treated with respect and dignity, adding that technical performance must go hand in hand with good human relations.
The General Manager further reminded staff that working at CAMTEL may require serving in any part of the country, depending on operational needs, and that such postings should not be seen as punishment but as part of their duty.
Despite the challenges, she praised the quality of social dialogue within the company, noting that discussions between management and workers have led to improvements in staff welfare. These include regular salary payments, health coverage, recognition of staff performance, and ongoing efforts to ensure fair remuneration.
She also announced that more than 700 young professionals have recently joined the company, bringing new energy and innovation to support its future growth.
In her closing remarks, the General Manager called on all employees to remain united, committed, and focused as CAMTEL continues to play its role in connecting the nation and supporting economic development.
