“Welcome to the Borough of Fongo-Tongo
We are at the gateway to this Borough in the Department of Menoua.
📍 FONGO-TONGO: Public Authorities anxious to communicate with the people wherever they are!
This rotating activity, stems from the Government’s policy to go and touch the local realities of deep Cameroon, unite in the same feeling of belonging to the same nation with the local populations, promote, preserve and consolidate peace, unity, harmonious living together, solidarity, social cohesion and the dynamics of national integration. The aim is to mobilise and raise national awareness of the importance of celebrating National Day and, above all, to further strengthen community life, unity and national integration.

LET’S TALK
This is the aim of the Grand Vivre-ensemble Camerounais (Great Cameroonian Living Together), which is currently being held between the communities of Fongo-Tongo and other sister communities in the South-West Region.
🟢 Did you say Grand Carrefour du Vivre-ensemble camerounais?
It’s a place for Cameroonian communities of all origins and cultural backgrounds, living in the same locality, to meet and exchange ideas with a view to finding solutions for better living together.
“It would appear that you have been told that you will not find anyone in FONGO-TONGO…. Minister, can you confirm for yourself whether all these people present are… Nobody”
With these words, Paul NDONGUE, Mayor of Céans, began his welcome. He went on to say: “We are fortunate to have been chosen by the President of the Republic to host this ceremony. We are delighted.
On the economic front, Fongo-Tongo is home to Cameroon’s bauxite industry. Pioneer villages and clusters are being set up in this municipality, and certificates for the delivery of sites are being issued in conjunction with the traditional chieftaincies.
As part of the drive to establish a sense of community, “internally displaced persons are welcome here, as even the Chief Superior has fifteen or so flats in his chiefdom dedicated to accommodating our brothers and sisters fleeing the atrocities of terrorist gangs”, says Paul NDONGUE.

🟢🔴🟡 CAMEROON: A UNITED AND INDIVISIBLE COUNTRY
This year, as every year, Cameroon is celebrating its unshakeable attachment to the unity of the Nation through the civil events marking the National Day. For the fifty-second time, Cameroon will celebrate its National Day on 20 May 2024. This is an important moment in the life of the nation, an opportunity to assess the progress made in the process of consolidating the “Vivre-ensemble” between all the peoples of Cameroon, promoting cultural and linguistic diversity as a richness, affirming patriotism, adhering to the same vision of a common future, consolidating national integration and affirming the united and indivisible character of Cameroon.
The celebration of the National Day is a privileged occasion for fraternisation around the ideal of nation-building. This is why His Excellency Paul BIYA, President of the Republic, never ceases to remind us that he is fully aware of all the difficulties Cameroonians are going through. In his speech on 31 December 2023, he addressed the entire population in the following terms: “Despite this difficult situation, we have continued to face up to it together, like the united and cohesive Nation that we have always been, with our eyes riveted on a single objective, the only one that counts: progress”.
“Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen
The building of an Exemplary and Emerging Republic is therefore a call to the people to include all categories of people, whether indigenous or non-indigenous, majority or minority, in a synergy of actions and skills for a strong, united and united Cameroon.
In this respect, we must carry out visible actions on a daily basis, in support of the governmental mechanism put in place, with a view to building a Cameroon where National Unity and Integration are experienced with respect for differences and identities.
This concern justifies the inclusion of a certain number of innovative activities in the Harmonised National Programme for this year’s National Day: Unity and National Integration Camps, Carrefours du Vivre-Ensemble Camerounais, the special awareness-raising operation called “Migrations citoyennes et patriotiques”, Civic Action Day, as well as activities inherent in the implementation of the Import-Substitution policy within the framework of Unity and National Integration Villages.
The activities proposed in this programme place particular emphasis on the values conveyed by our unity and our “Cameroonian togetherness”, patriotism and cultural and linguistic diversity as a source of wealth.
It should be noted that the organisation of camp n

🟢🔴🟡 CAMEROON: ONE AND INDIVISIBLE
Cameroon is celebrating this year, as it does every year, its unfailing attachment to the unity of the Nation through the civil events of the National Day. For its fifty-second year, Cameroon celebrates its National Day on 20 May 2024. This is an important moment in the life of the nation, an opportunity to assess the progress made in the process of consolidating the “Vivre Ensemble” (living together) between all the peoples of Cameroon, promoting cultural and linguistic diversity as a source of wealth, affirming patriotism, adhering to the same vision of a common future, consolidating national integration and affirming the united and indivisible nature of Cameroon.
The celebration of the National Day is an ideal occasion for communion around the ideal of nation-building. In this sense, His Excellency Paul BIYA, President of the Republic, never ceases to remind us that he is extremely aware of all the difficulties facing Cameroonians. In the same vein, he appealed to the entire population in his speech on 31 December 2023 in the following terms: “Despite the difficult situation, we have continued to face up to it. Together, as a united and cohesive nation, as we have always been. With our eyes fixed on one goal. The only one that matters: progress.

🟢🔴🟡 The Launch Speech
It is in excerpts:
“Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Cameroon, our country, will celebrate its 52nd National Day on 20 May 2024. As is customary in the organisation of these celebrations, each year on the basis of precise criteria, the Government chooses a locality to host the official national launch of civil events.
The town of FONGO-TONGO, located in the Western Region, Department of Menoua, therefore has the great honour of hosting this important national event.
Before continuing, I would like, on behalf of the Government, to wish you all a “HAPPY NATIONAL DAY”.
The bank holidays is an important moment in the life of the nation. It is certainly a time for rejoicing and massive celebrations, but it also gives us a unique opportunity to pause and reflect on the privilege of being Cameroonians.
Indeed, the National Day is necessary to consolidate the bonds between the sons and daughters of Cameroon. It is a privileged moment to highlight and express all the richness of our exceptional plurality and diversity, both linguistic and cultural. This celebration strengthens the links between the older and younger generations and marks the communion between the past and the present.
As part of this public effervescence, it is always customary to choose a theme to raise the nation’s awareness of the issues of today and tomorrow.
This year, the theme chosen
“A gift for the Minister
Your title of notability comes with its symbol… A chair”, a gift from the traditional chiefs of the locality
