Congratulations Letter from Hon. Agho Oliver Bamenju

To: THE LORD MAYOR BAFUT COUNCIL

Subject: Letter of Congratulations

It is with great joy and deep satisfaction that I write on behalf of the Mezam Divisional Participatory Follow-Up Committee for the Execution of Public Investment Projects to express my profound gratitude and congratulate you and your team for making us proud.

I learned with deep satisfaction on Thursday, 19h January 2023, that Bafut Council was second in the 2022 Financial and Physical Execution of Public Investment Projects and other Development Projects in the entire Mezam Division.

As your council continues to maintain its leading position in our division, it is my prayer and wish that the local population will begin to perceive the level of Community transformation within the context of the implementation of the 2019 law on Regional and Local authorities that portrays the Government’s determination to fast track and deepen the decentralization process in our beloved country.

It is on this great achievement that I wish to extend to you and your team my gratitude and that of the entire committee members.

Sincerely: Hon. Agho Oliver Bamenju

Bafut Council Councillors have voted a budget balance in income and revenue at 1.18 billion franc CFA for 2023.

With the 1.18 billion Franc CFA budgeted, 619.4 million is allocated to recurrent expenditures  and 560 million Franc CFA goes into further investments.

This year’s budget has 130.3 million Franc CFA increase from that of 2022.

The government’s investment credit for 2023 stands at 301,500,000 Franc CFA.

In 2022, the council executed more than 20 projects including the rehabilitation of classrooms in Swie and Obang, a bridge across the stream linking Ntangoh and Nine.

Rural electrification in the village of Nahum, construction of meat sales slaps, support for vulnerable people, and construction of a health center amongst others.

“Peace is gradually returning to Bafut. Bafut is quieter now than in 2021. It’s good for all of us to be in Bafut and think about the Development of the subdivision.” The D.O. noted.

The 2023 budget was prepared after a budgetary orientation debate organized by the council in partnership with IVFCAM where members of the community came together to propose the projects that they needed most.
