Musa Shey Nfor has been confirmed
as the Chieftain of the Cameroon Cooperative Credit Union League, CAMCCUL for
the next 3 years, renewable once. Delegates attending the 44th
Annual General Assembly, AGM resolved and shunned a handful of those identified
as ‘detractors’; Awah Cho Fobuzi (AC Risky) Mochiggle Vaningansen and Judith
Awondo, were even spotted leading a gang intending to disrupt the CAMCCUL
conclave. This was last Saturday, June 30, 2012 in Bamenda. After allegedly
distributing some 5000 tracts around Bamenda, they led some 23 Okada riders
with placards to the venue of the meeting, yet, could go nowhere. Allegations
were even rife that everything was being stage-managed from Ngaoundere and
Ntarinkon respectively, for obvious reasons.
Yet amongst
over a dozen resolutions, (details on page 12), was the controversial case on
the mandate of credit union presidents and other officials of the CamCCUL
network. It was therefore resolved that the decision of the extraordinary
general meeting of December 3, 2011 of Buea remain binding and enforceable
until changed by the same body since the law is not retrospective.
On this
premises, credit unions and CAMCCUL presidents et al, shall have 3 years’
mandate renewable thrice. Calling on some credit union officials to desist from
blackmailing and witch-hunting CamCCUL president and others, the participants
resolved to sanction the perpetrators of trouble in the network.
Equally, the
members decided that the taxes of credit unions should be reviewed and risk
management premium reduced from July 2012.
On the Njinikom
pioneer credit union which is in crisis, it was equally resolved that all
credit unions should jointly assist it to come out of the crisis it’s facing
which may lead to its death.
In an exclusive
interview with Shey Nfor Musa, he opined that the peaceful and successful
deliberations of the meeting is a victory for all credit unionist affiliated to
CamCCUL. He observed that the presence of the representatives of the ministers
of Agriculture and Rural Development and Finance, including the representative
of the Governor of the North West
region and the personal presence of Procureur General for the Region,
encouraged delegates and proved the transparency of the network.
Earlier in his
address, the Government Delegate to the Bamenda city council, Vincent Nji Ndumu
doffed his hat to credit unions affiliated to CamCCUL for alleviating poverty,
improving standards of living and curbing rural-exodus. He was happy to
announce that CamCCUL will fund the tarring of 280km of roads within Bamenda to
the tune of FCFA 50 billion and also fund the Bamenda mult-purpose bus station
expected to be constructed at Up-station at the tune of FCFA 3 billion.
Above all, it
was resolved that all the decisions arrived at in the meeting, shall be
implemented as from July 2012; and the CamCCUL authorities enjoined to install
a lift and water facilities in the newly constructed CamCCUL tower building
along the Bamenda commercial avenue.
Before the 44th
annual general meeting of CamCCUL started on Saturday June 30, 2012, some
enemies of progress hired motor-bike riders to block the entrance into AZAM
hotel where the meeting was; holding with placards but they were chased away by
the forces of law and order. All the motor-bike riders came from Ntarinkon for
obvious reasons.
One of the
organizers of the protest demonstration was a Bamenda based economic operator,
Awah Cho Fobuzie popularly called A.C Risky. He went as far as granting
interviews to the press as to why Shey Nfor Mus must leave CamCCUL as
president.
In his flimsy excuse,
he argued that Shey Nfor Musa has constructed an edifice in Nkambe, the
divisional headquarters of Donga-Mantung as CamCCUL building and is currently
constructing over 6 storey building at Commercial avenue for CamCCUL; which
according to him, is not a priority project for the network.
Earlier in the
Bamenda chapter meeting in Bamenda, delegates doffed their hats to Shey Musa
for his foresightedness. They opine that with the rapidly growing population of
Bamenda it was just very wise for such structures to be put up. The delegates
were even told that most companies have already book for rooms in the building.
