Asongwed Quits NW!

- Cataputed As Director In Yaounde

By Musa Isa

The North West Region is in groan! Emmanuel Anyang Asongwed, the Dean of Regional Delegates has quit the scene. Asongwed, according to Decree No. 2012/4087/PM of November 26, 2012 becomes Director of Social Housing and its Promotion. He therefore quits Bamenda for Yaounde to pick up the gauntlet. Asongwed therefore quits the North West , where he served as the Doyen (Dean) of Regional Delegates. He served a region, for nearly 11 years and had his does and don’ts.

Although generally quiet and preferring to intervene when it is absolutely necessary, Asongwed Emmanuel is considered a genius of no small magnitude. His intelligence has been demonstrated in different challenging situations since he was appointed Urban Development Delegate for North West . And until he quit to be elevated as a Director in the central administration in the ministry, he has remained himself: consistent, pragmatic and frank where he loves and hates.

Nobody in Cameroon can talk about the success of President Biya’s visit to Bamenda in 2010 without making reference the central role ASONGWED Emmanuel played in the process. He worked tirelessly to see that major roads in the city received a new facelift. It could have been based on this premise that Asongwed, after serving North West for nearly a decade was thereon catapulted as Director.

Asongwed Emmanuel, being the patriot that he is, always makes sure that if there were to be an error it should not come from him. His greatest achievement however,  is the carriage way or alternative access road from UpStation to Mile Two Nkwen. The road that enables heavy duty cars to avoid the winding and sometimes ecologically unfriendly Station road gives Bamenda a completely new outlook. Another access road is also on the offing through Mbatu and what with development following. For such wonderful initiatives and tenacity, we say bravo to Mr, Asongwed Emmanuel.
