Another Outstanding “Red Feather" For CDVTA On Labour Day

North West Governor, Adolph Lele Lafrique did not overtly comment about who excelled outstandingly during last Mat 1 labour day manifestations in Bamenda. His actions were pellucid: out of the over 200 delegations the paraded the commercial Avenue grandstand in Bamenda, Chronicle observed that the Community Development Volunteer For Technical Assistance, CDVTA were not only well organized, but presented a lucid billing which received outstanding accolade.

Volunteers

At least some 400 volunteers and staff of CDVTA, including a handful of elderly people’s club marched in fornt of Governor Lele Lafrique. The North West governor was nonplussed about the extraordinary outfit of CDVTA group. He was even spotted in total communion with Absolone Monono, his secretary general to be acquainted as to whether CDVTA was the group he presented a report about them. Interestingly, Absolone  Monono attended the last elderly person’s convention in Bamenda last December 2012 organised by CDVTA. At least 20.000 elderly persons were in attendance. Chronicle gathered that the attendance had long baffled security officials who had since covertly opened investigations about the secret behind such great mobilization.
Last May 1, 2013 was thus a revelation about CDVTA’s traapings. They displayed exceptional trappings infront of the North West Governor lele Lafrique in communion with his SG Monono, while CDVTA marched past, it could not be unconnected with the Decmenr 2012 CDVTA convention report “is this the CDVTA you presented”? The governor is suspected to have questioned.

It was a colourful and eciting scenario when CDVTA marched past. It was a composition of CDVTA volunteers, CDVTA staff and some elderly persons. The bamenda grandstand scenario was splendid, moreso as Francis Njuakom, the CDVTA Director was putting on a target-khaki outfit sown like a military outfit, chronicle gathered that Njuakom procured the attire some 6 years ago, yet decided to use it, though was tight fitting. Governor lele Lafrique cheered, when he saw Njuakon with his CDVTA staff.
The most remarkable of the CDVTA actions were the diversed colours witnessed. CDVTA staff at the Bamenda head office were clad in black sniffs, while volunteers were either in blue, pink black of khaki colours.

Chronicle is aware that the Methodist Relief has been the main liaison between CDVTA and the British government. He told volunteers that because they would not stay long, only the Ngoketunjia project area, where Bamessing and Babanki Tungu are found would be visited.
Njuakom expressed optimism that on the issue of the review of the relationship between CDVTA and the Methodist Relief, given the former’s output, there would be no doubts.
