Minister Mounouna Foutsou has just inaugurated the Ngaoundal CMPJ, before heading to the Place des Fêtes for the solemn launch of #FN2025 civil activities.
It was precisely 6.12pm when Minister Mounouna Foutsou arrived at the Place des Fêtes in Ngaoundal.
It’s a big gathering for a big day.
Performance of the national anthem
It’s a few minutes to 7pm, but the young people are singing the national anthem in its entirety.
An example to follow.
Supports
Support is given to young people to help them implement their projects under the three-year Special Youth Plan, as well as donations to vulnerable young people.
Ngaoundal in the spotlight
Everyone’s feelings
“I think I can express the feelings of everyone here when I say that Ngaoundal is in the limelight. Unless I’m mistaken, this is the very first time our commune has hosted an event of national importance. “These are the words of the mayor of Ngaoundal.
The head of the municipal executive explained that the very large turnout, despite the late hour, was proof of the patriotism of the people of Ngaoundal, who had “taken the full measure of the event in progress”.
Mohamadou Sani emphasised this obviously deep-rooted feeling, saying: “In the past, we used to watch you launch the civil Unity Day demonstrations on television, Minister. But today, we ourselves are part of the action. Now it’s the turn of others to watch us celebrate in the presence of the Minister, the envoy of the Head of State. Thank you to President Paul Biya for this honour. “

Living together in Ngaoundal
The state of play
Joseph Yadji, district delegate for Youth and Civic Education, says that “living together is a reality in Ngaoundal”. He points to the cosmopolitan nature of the town’s population as proof of this.
Indeed, “Boum, Gbaya, Peuls, Haoussa, people from the Tikar plain, the Far North, the Central African Republic and Nigeria all live here together”.
However, he speaks of a “behavioural disaster in the locality” which caused the death of a number of people, originating in an agro-pastoral conflict. The prefect subsequently took action to restore peace between farmers and herders. A peace that has been established, he says.
So, although there were conflicts, in the end, living together was preserved in Ngaoundal.
“Here in Ngaoundal, diversity is an asset”, he concludes.

Surrounded by his peers, Aboubakar Dewa, Regional President of the National Youth Council of Cameroon for Adamaoua, expressed the youth’s deference to the Head of State for his constant actions in favour of Cameroon’s youth.
Living together, in dance

Diversity is pride
“Given the context of our country, the major concern today remains the preservation of harmonious coexistence. As you all know, peace and stability are the leaven of prosperity, without which development is impossible. This is borne out by the countless human, social and economic consequences of the insecurity imposed on us by the various conflict zones across the country over the past few years.
The building of the Exemplary and Emerging Republic therefore sounds like a challenge to the population, all categories included, in a synergy of action and competence with a view to a strong, united, united and prosperous Cameroon.
I therefore address myself to you, the valiant and dynamic people of the Adamaoua Region, the Djérem Department and particularly those of the Ngaoundal Arrondissement. In short, each of you must love your fellow citizens and consider them above all sociological, cultural and political differences. This diversity has always been the pride and strength of our beloved and beautiful country, Cameroon. “
