Personality of The Week: Solomon Tapea Mbie, PAMOL General Manager.

In the case of the situation in the North West and South West Regions, which Catholic Bishops had long described as a useless war, it has become even difficult, finding people of candour, courage and stamina, for delicate state assignments.
But just like it is often said that impossibility is not Cameroonian, there are geniuses who have leveraged several factors to keep the two Anglophone Regions alive.  
One of such sectors in these Regions that have benefitted from such resilient leadership is that of agriculture. The tides have been turning for good in the case of the PAMOL Plantations Plc, since President Paul Biya handed its top job to the visionary and results-driven Solomon Tapea Mbile.
