NATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF HYGIENE AND SANITATION: WUM COUNCIL EYES THE TROPHY.



The Wum Council is poised to grab the title of the cleanness municipality at the Menchum Divisional level, following the mobilization of the population to give their municipality a new facelift by making it the cleanness town in Cameroon.

 

The campaign it should be recalled, is aimed at demonstrating to the communities, the importance of ensuring proper hygiene and sanitation for health and safety, encourage the Village hygiene and sanitation groups to champion efforts to promote proper waste disposal, and to support the local council by exhibiting in action, the value we attach to our various communities.

 




This Wednesday June 29th 2022, the population massively turned out from 8am to 12 noon to keep their homes, quarters and villages clean, not leaving out business premises. This new impetus found in the collaboration of the population, is a great sign that everyone loves a clean environment.

 

The National Hygiene and Sanitation Campaign that seeks to encourage Cameroonian towns to maintain high level of salubrity, shall be rewarding the cleanness town during this year’s celebration of World Habitat day in Bertoua.

 

Since the outbreak of the ongoing sociopolitical stalemate in the two English speaking regions of Cameroon, many households in Wum municipality have been abandoned, some streets neglected, gutters filled with wastes, bushy environments and dilapidated structures that are now an eyesore to the already battered image of the municipality. This national awareness raising campaign is not only a springboard to the Wum council and team, but also a wind beneath this local council’s wing as it sensitizes  its inhabitants for them to go back to the good days of yore.

 

The Sanitation & Hygiene awareness campaign initiated this 29th day of June 2022, has been taking the message of cleanliness in different parts of the Wum municipality through community mobilization. The participants including the community members, church leaders, the young and the old, have pledged together for the prosperity of the municipality, the subdivision, the division, the region and country at large through sanitation.

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...

WUM COUNCIL: SDO VISITS HOLIDAY WORKERS.

For the past two months, the Wum Municipality has been a bee hive as many youths on holidays have been engaged by the Wum Council, to dig, clean and decorate the municipality with ornamental trees and flowers, this to the satisfaction of the population who always come out in their numbers to encourage these children.  The recruitment of these children, though a corporate social responsibility of the Wum Council, has been made possible thanks to the workaholic Mayor and his team. In one of such busy day of work, the Senior Divisional Officer of Menchum Division, Mr. Abdoullahi Aliou, paid a surprised visit to the children and encouraged them in their endeavour. You have been the lucky few to have been chosen to work and earn some money to help your parents send you back to school. Make sure that dream comes true. Do not in anyway disappoint the Council and the entire population who trusted you to have this job. Be good citizens and true patriots. Thank you for assisting the council ...
