WUM COUNCIL'S FUTURISTIC PROJECT.

The idea of such a lofty project is based on a vision for the development of this municipality and making it a practical and aesthetic entity.

The Town’s vision for the new Municipal Center and site is to create a “Gateway” to the Town of Wum. The facility will feature a high-quality entrance commensurate with other giant structures such as the Aghem Credit union at three corners and the business structure at courtyard. The facility will house the Town’s current departments and allow for growth, expecting to provide space to accommodate up to 50 employees. It will include Council Chambers, a hall for executive meetings and customer service areas for the public.

The total Municipal Center project, inclusive of architectural design, construction, site development, and landscaping, is projected to cost some hundreds of millions. Designed by POLARIS DESIGN, their proposal for the future town hall of Wum draws a discreet profile in the landscape, that will stand out as a landmark in the municipality. The building aims to strengthen the character of Wum, and will be the starting point for tourists traveling and exploring the Aghem highland nature. The new town hall is not just an expansion, but a link between the old and the new generations.

The new building blends in with the hilly landscape: it bridges the gap between nature and the city, opens up towards the surroundings and incorporates the green surroundings in the activities of the house. The house will create a platform for a wide range of activities, meeting places and hubs, and at the same time create a successful workplace.

The building is placed in the landscape as a three-story horizontal pavilion, adjacent to the existing town hall 'southern facade. It will, by its horizontality, not compete with the old city and the existing town hall. By organizing the building around a series of green courtyards, the surroundings are pulled into the complex and creates a smooth transition between the nature, work space and the existing town hall.

The new town hall is based on the idea of working in nature. No matter where you are, in both the old and the new building there will be nature quite literally "on the doorstep".

The roof and courtyards of the building will be a tale of the hilltop - a small piece of peninsula which exhibits the surrounding natural phenomena. It will invite employees, citizens and tourists to explore the building and the rooftop open plaza before they move out into the wild.

NORTH WEST PUBLIC INDEPENDENT CONCILIATOR

The PIC while addressing local masses in Wum Council area, Mr. Tamfu Fai, appealed to the government to create divisional representations. In the Anglo-Saxon tradition, it is customary to set up independent authorities responsible for settling disputes between users and regional and council administration. In line with this logic, Law No.2019/24 of 24 December 2019 to institute the General Code of Regional and Local Authorities provides for an independent authority called the Public Independent Conciliator (PIC) in the North-West and South-West Regions. The office holder is by no means a legal authority or a judge, as the competences and powers entrusted to him are not of a legal nature. The PIC is responsible, inter alia, for amicably settling disputes between users and the regional and council administration, defending and protecting rights and freedoms with regard to the relationship between citizens and the region or the councils thereof, conducting any investigation on the f...

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL MACRON, DISAVOWS DECENTRALIZATION AS SOLUTION TO ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT; OPTS FOR REGIONALISM.

Image an elephant walked into the room. It's definitely something you would notice. It's also something people would describe in many different ways. Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room. Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore. To most ordinary Cameroonians, his remarks after the close to two hours high-level talks with long-serving President Paul Biya, were great. To others, (especially those in government), they were a threat to what government had given a pat on its back for a fast-track of the decentralization process with a Special Status for the North Wes...
