The atmosphere shifted from divine inspiration to practical governance, as the City of Bamenda, under the watchful eyes of the Divisional Officer and the Mayor of Bamenda 1, made a significant donation of wheelbarrows, spades, rakes, brooms, and other essential sanitation tools to the people and leaders of the Bamenda 1 Municipality. This act was more than a gesture—it was a symbol of commitment, a call to action for peace, hygiene, and community development.

The scene was electrifying, as the sheer weight of dedication and shared responsibility was felt among all in attendance. Government dignitaries, traditional rulers, municipal authorities, and ordinary citizens stood together—united in purpose, bound by duty, and fueled by hope.
