A Special Grant has been sent for the Bamenda City Mayor to aid in the buying of new buses and ease the circulation of persons in Bamenda, given that the restriction order on the circulation of motorbikes within urban perimeters within the city of Bamenda still applies.
This measure was applauded by the Head of State, President Paul Biya and according to the MINAT Boss, Paul Atanga Nji it has reduced the rate of violent activities ochestrated by separatists fighters within the city of Bamenda.

The local man being the one who is suffering most in the armed conflict continue to make their voices heard by calling on government to intervene genuinely in the armed conflict.
"Every parent, member of familly has a connection with those in the bushes, they are brothers and sisters to other persons living normal lives. It is time for them to call on these children to denounce their demonic practices, because this game has been on for too long". Minister Paul Atanga Nji
Despite reports on Security from the Governor of the Northwest Region, Adophe Lele LAfrique, the MINAT Boss called on the Forces of Law and Order to stay focused, mobilized and vigilant despite the

"The Head of State has done his best to resolve the situation and done more, the population must show gratitude for the things he has done. The persisting ghost towns only destroy the economy and the people making efforts to fight that cannot be over emphasized". Minister Paul Atanga Nji.
