"The CAMTEL Decentralisation day has given us a clearer picture of the Decentralisation process in Cameroon and the related challenges in terms of digital development.

She added that the rise of digital technology and the promotion of local development in Cameroon as envisaged in the National Development strategy 2020-2030 will achieved with the contribution of the various actors that we are, Judith Yah Sunday continued.
