South West Dev’t : SOWEDA Resumes Road Maintenance

Thanks to the South West Development Authority (SOWEDA), the villages of Bokwaongo, Bwassa, Likombe, Mapanja and Bonjongo in the Buea Council area are now linked with a rehabilitated earth road.  The road whose works kicked off in May, 2020, costing FCFA 26,791,300 was handed over to the beneficiary populations last 24 July, 2020. 
The Divisional Officer for Buea, Abba Abdouraman, chaired the handing over ceremony in the Likombe village ceremonial ground after plying and checking the entire 10- kilometre stretch. Mr Abdouraman urged the population to revive community works to keep the road passable all-round the seasons. He rejoiced that after suffering in their enclave over the years the populations of the five villages now have an opportunity to carry out their economic and social activities through a sure road. 
On the occasion of the handing-over, working tools were offered to the local road management committees to enable them carry out constant maintenance of the thoroughfare. Such tools included wheel barrows, manual rammers, shovels, spades, pick axes, crow bars, cutlasses, rakes and hand files. The purpose of the road, as explained by the engineers, was to facilitate evacuation of produce, enhance development, ease up mobility and link up the peripheral settlements to the central markets of Buea.
