B’da III council reaping more fruits from S. Korea

More fruits have continued to be reaped from the Bamenda III council’s twinning with the Korean city.

It is worth mentioning that in a bid to bring more development to Bamenda III council, the effervescent and forward-looking Mayor Fonguh Cletus arranged for a twinning agreement between his council and the Gwangju Metropolitan City council in Korea. This was the fruit of the endless research that he does on the internet, knowing fully well the importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs). For, it was through this medium that Mayor Fonguh Cletus learnt of the Gwangju conference on urban environmental accord which he later attended. That undoubtedly gave him the opportunity to sign the said partnership agreement.

Not long after the deal was concluded, precisely on July 17, 2012, a delegation of eleven South Koreans from the city of Suwong paid a visit to the Bamenda III council. To say the least, it was a come-and-see visit as 31 items of varied quantities, including drugs, clothing, footballs, books and bags as well as fiscal cash to the tune of 20 000 US dollars (approximately 10 million FCFA) were donated to the Bamenda III council.

While the Bamenda III inhabitants were still celebrating and thanking the High Heavens for Mayor Fonguh’s marvelous achievements, another group of South Koreans came visiting with the news that they would in the days ahead construct a goat ranch for the municipality.

The widely-saluted project, no doubt, will go a long way to boost the livestock of Bamenda III in particular and the entire North West region in general.

The South Korean city delegation that came with the good news was led by Park Si Young and Vernasius Tandia. They announced that the ranch would kick start with 30 goats.

Speaking while welcoming his benefactors, Mayor Fonguh said the ranch will produce milk, cheese, goats and will generate money that would help his council undertake projects in the health, development and the education sectors.

Meanwhile Mayor Fonguh has equally received the support and blessings of his councilors for initiating the Bamenda III Council Development Plan that when realized, will accelerate development in his municipality.
