The prevailing insecurity in some parts of Bamenda and the coming of the rainy season has forced the slow pace of execution of some contracts within the Bamenda City Council area.
This was disclosed to city councillors at the midterm evaluation of council's activities for the year 2021.
Paul Achombong, City Mayor to the Bamenda City Council lamented that a bridge envisaged for the Ntaturu quarter cannot kick-off. He went further to say "portions of the fence constructed around the Bamenda City Council were brought down. If not of the resilience of the contractor, the project would have been abandoned" Paul Achombong told reporters.
