Wum Mayor Plea for Road Infrastructure Development
During Prime Minister Chief Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute's visit to the Northwest Region, Wum Mayor Dighambong Anthony made an impassioned plea for urgent attention to the deteriorating Bamenda-Wum road. The Mayor emphasized that the poor state of the road network in Menchum Division severely hampers the area's development, citing exorbitant transport fares as a major concern.
*The Plight of Residents*
Residents are facing significant financial strain due to skyrocketing transport costs, with fares increasing from 2,000 FCFA to 15,000 FCFA. This has resulted in economic hardship and limited access to essential services.
*A Call to Action*
The Mayor urged the Prime Minister to prioritize the tarring of the Bamenda-Wum road, highlighting its potential to:
1. *Ease Mobility*: Improve transportation and connectivity for residents.
2. *Boost Economic Activities*: Enhance trade and commerce in the region.
3. *Alleviate Financial Burden*: Reduce transport costs and alleviate economic hardship.
By addressing this critical infrastructure need, the government can unlock the potential of Menchum Division and promote sustainable development.
