The Regional Delegate of Youth Affairs and Civic Education, Odilia Mbanwie Fri says its time for youths to take their place and enjoy opportunities offered them by the state, she acknowledged that this year's National Day Celebrations deserve a grand outing.
"The youths of the Northwest region have been missing this alot, in this period when we are celebrating 50 years of Unity, we need to celebrate. It is a golden age. Youth affairs is in charge of the civilian part of every occasion, every public manifestation and we teach by example", MINJEC NW
Unlike the past, 20th May celebrations this year 2022 will be celebrated in a period marked by the Corona virus pandemic that has affected about five continents causing huge human and material damage that the globe is still recovering from.
May Day Celebrations this year is coming after two blank editions in 2000 and 2021. Not forgetting that Cameroon hosted the 33rd edition of the Africa Cup of Nations.
20th May 2022 will be celebrated under the theme; "Defence and Services Forces at the Service of the people in preserving social peace and National cohesion guarantee for an emerging Cameroon".
A theme that fits with the times in the life of Cameroon that is facing security threats in different regions, including its borders. The efforts by Defence and Security Forces to preserve security in the North West and South West Regions cannot be undermined.
Depositions have been taken by administration and stakeholders in their different domains to ensure that this year's celebration takes place hitch-free and records a success in the Northwest region.
