of the members of the committee in charge of follow-up of priority projects at the lake Tchad Basin Commission led by the Secretary General at the Prime Ministers Office, Jules Doret Ndongo has spent almost a week on the field. The delegation had as mission to evaluate the level of execution of projects so far in the Lake Tchad Basin. It has been realised that some projects have been implemented meanwhile others are under construction. The greater part of the projects are abandoned due to difficulties in high cost of transportation of materials from the centre region to the north, use of foreign currency naira that has largely dominated the area and inadequate finances by the entrepreneurs who usually win the contracts. The participation of the SG/PM in the field work shows governments concern to ameliorate the living standard of the population around this around and its determination to see into it that all priority projects earmarked are executed. According to the President of the committee in charge of follow-up of priority projects at the Lake Tchad zone, Mr Abba Sadou, work done so far is impressive. But he calls on the stakeholders to award contracts to businessmen who are financially strong to pre-finance their markets before getting feedback from the government. He equally recommends that during the elaboration of contracts, some extra finances should be allocated to contracts in remote and far away areas. This to him is to help the entrepreneurs meet up with the high cost of goods in the area concerned. Mr Abba Sadou has expressed more hope in the nearest future in the execution projects in the Zone giving that road infrastructure has been constructed and communication means made available. To him, this will help in the circulation of goods withing Kouseri and Maroua. Celine MBENG

One Nation: One People: Many Cultures By Nkwain Vandoline
Cameroons central position in Africa has favoured its possession of a multiplicity of cultures. Inhabited by about 20 million people who fit into more than 200 ethnic groups, the countrys cultural pattern can hardly be homogenous because of its diversity. Of all the ethnic groups in Cameroon, each has a contribution towards its cultural riches. The interplay of all these cultural forms has made Cameroon to become a melting pot for various African ethnic cultures. These cultural aspects range from music and dance to language and dress pattern.
