Youth Affairs Minister, Monouna Foutso has made good observations on youth activities carried out in line with the Special Three-Year Plan for Young People, in Noun Subdivision.
The Minister of Youth and Civic Education (MINJEC) has visited some production clusters of young beneficiaries of Three Year Youth plan in Foumbot.
The Minister visited the corn production warehouses coupled with the production of avocado seedlings in the nursery. MINJEC observed that over a hundred of young avocado plants are ready for sale.
Bakary, promoter of the warehouse said, “I will thank the Ministry of Youth Affairs, who allowed me to move from 1 hectare to 20 hectares. This launch allowed me to continue in the training of street children that I created in 2015. I alone cannot develop this place, other young people like me who believe in this initiative can synergize efforts and we have the best outcome”.
The Minister, Mounouna Foutsou was moved by the opportunities the youths were taking and the outcome according to him was appealing.
“I am moved by all these success stories that I have been visiting in the Western region in general and particularly here in Foumbot. I believe that Cameroonian youth have many opportunities, particularly in the agricultural sector".
"As these young people have written on their t-shirts-the land does not deceive, these young people have seized these opportunities to integrate harmoniously into the value chain so as to promote products made in Cameroon." MINJEC
