The governor also told the new SDO that his primordial task should be to ensure that the Mont Mbappit rural development project (PDRM) sponsored by the Islamic Development Bank and government of Cameroon is effectively and efficiently managed to bring a both economic and social benefits to the rural and Urban populations who are the main target. “You must help the population towards more efficient production and management” the Governor stress, and called on the SDO to start preparing the Division for Ebolowa Agric show.

Mr Ivaha Diboua, called on the new SDO to wage a war against highway robbers who are a threat to the inhabitants of Noun and neighbouring regions. The Governor called on the new SDO to ensure that there is respect of general interest, security of persons and property, the enforcement of law and make sure recalcitrant citizens are proposed to the hierarchy for sanction.
