THE BIOMETRIC REGISTRATION FOR THE SAFETY NET PROJECT GOES ON IN ANDEK COUNCIL

The people of Andek council are now set to benefit from the Social Safety Net project, following the biometric registration of the beneficiaries for the project that took place in the Andek Council hall from Monday, 5th Sept to Sunday 11th Sept 2022.

The population demonstrated their enthusiasm for the project by defying threats from secessionists and turned out in their numbers, the old, the young, the disabled and the poor, to have themselves registered.

The Lord Mayor of Andek Council, Mr. Ubangoh Helly, took time to explain the source and objectives of the project and why Ngie is benefiting from it at this time. He explained that the Safety Net is a World Bank sponsored project through the Government of Cameroon, to alleviate poverty and improve on the leaving conditions of the population of Andek municipality.

The Mayor Thanked the government of Cameroon for this wonderful gift to his people, that is going to greatly boost the economy of the council area.

The Mayor announced that the names of some civil servants and double registrations identified in the présélection lists have been dropped to give space to truly poor people.

The preselected candidates on the main lists who failed to attend were immediately replaced by those on the waiting lists.

Each community in Ngie was expected to have at least 66 persons but ANGONG and Abebung registered the lowest number of applicants, for reasons yet to be known.

The Mayor used the opportunity given by the huge crowd that gathered to preach for peace and for a return to school in the municipality.
