Bamenda II Mayor Hands Equipment to beneficiary
Some quarter heads of the four villages that make up the Bamenda II Council area have benefitted from rudimentary tools handed by the safety net project of the United Nations Development Program, UNDP.
As part of the recovery program of government, the tools consisting of wheelbarrows, spades, dig axes, rain boats, working gloves, box hammers, iron rods, cement and many others is aimed at revitalizing the community spirit in tackling issues.
Items handed

Cement and Iron planks to be used

To each quarter to group of quarters, 1300 Frs will be allocated to them for a period of 60 days as assistance and SHUMAS says the work must not go on for the entire day.

On behalf of the Quarter Heads, Chi Valentine of Ntinkak Quarter promised that the items received will be judiciously used to ensure that the expected results are met in 60 days. He called on the council to punish defaulters who fail to put the equipment into use.
