The Commander of the 5th Joint Military Region, with Headquarters in Bamenda, Brigardier General Nka Valère, has expressed satisfaction for the ongoing rehabilitation works on the stretch of the road, ESU-KPEP-FURU AWA, in Menchum Division.
He made the appraisal while on an inspection visit to the site. The rehabilitation works are being done by the Military engineering Corps, Genie Militaire.
To Brigardier General Nka Valère, the importance of this stretch of the road cannot be over emphasized given the fact that it will go a long way to help ease circulation of goods and persons, as well as to ease intervention of troops to Furu Awa, without having to use an airlift. (Helicopter) Upon completion of this road, military operatives will intervene rapidly than before.
Worthy of note is the fact that, the stretch of road Esu-Kpep-Furu Awa, has been abandoned for over two decades, without any maintenance.
The passing of the heavy equipment of the military engineering Corps is a great relief for both the population of Esu, Kpep, Furu Awa and other neighbouring villages. An old adage holds it that, "where the road passes, development follows". The roads Wum-Bafmen and Wum-Bafut shall also be rehabilitated so as to ease movements.
