ONEFOP Representative Takes Office

Governor Abakar Ahamat has challenged the Regional branch of the National Employment and Vocational Training Observatory (ONEFOP) to reduce unemployment which rocks the Region. It was during the commissioning of Mrs Foo Ngang nee Injoh Prudencia as the Pioneer North West Representative on June 21, 2010. Governor Abakar Ahamat urged Mrs Foo Ngang to rise to expectation and become the hope of the people by exercising good relations with Stakeholders, being objective and responsible towards customers who are in desperate need of employment opportunities.

In effect, it was on the strength of Ministerial decision of January 27, 2010 that Foo Ngang nee Injoh Prudencia was commissioned in the presence of His Majesty, Melone Loe Claude who sat for the Minister of Employment and Vocational Training and triples as the Director of ONEFOP, National Coordinator of PIAASI and Director of Employment. The Regional Delegate of Employment and Vocational Training, Nlend Theodore Jules Roger set the tone for the event when he told participants that unemployment is a cancer warm and it was against this backdrop that ONEFOP was created following a Prime Ministerial decision No. 007/PM of February 13, 2002 to put in place a data base in collecting, treating and getting regular information on the employment market and Vocational Training in efforts to help the government take useful decisions.

The pioneer Representative of ONEFOP, North West is a product of the University of Yaounde and the Higher Teacher’s College, ENS with a 24 year experience in guidance and counseling. The 44-year-old mother of four was challenged to identify needs and competences in view of satisfying training and employment demands. The gate-way to success for Mrs Foo Ngang according to governor Abakar Ahamat hangs on good relations with customers who are desperately in need of jobs.
