Nganou Djoumesi, the Minister of Public Works has announced that the construction works for the Babadjou-Bamenda road in Cameroon will resume at the end of this coming June or early July 2021, at the latest.
The construction of this road, which spans the West and the North West regions of the Central African country, has been stalled since September 2017, when the then contractor, Sogea-Satom, a subsidiary of VINCI Group abandoned the site due to insecurities in the project area.
Reportedly, the equipment of the company was vandalized several times by the English-speaking secessionists occupying the North-West region of Cameron, and the lives of the employees working in the site endangered.
Nganou, Djoumesi explained that the project will be divided into four lots for fast execution. The first section stretches from Babadjou to Matazem a distance of 17km and it is around 38% complete owing to the work carried out by Sogea-Satom.
The second section which is about 18 kilometers stretches from Matazem to Bamenda while Section 3 covers the 4.930km bypass of the Bamenda cliff.
The entire road "highway" including the city of Bamenda is a mess. Travellers most of the times trek more when along the Bamenda Bamendjou highway.
What is your opinion?
