38 heads of communication units and those from different public services were trained during a workshop in Yaounde. All participants vouched to follow the agenda of the meeting.
This comes at a time when ministers communicate on various topics and at all times contradicted what the government spokesperson had already presented to the public. This will bring forth a harmonize release on topics by the state.
