Promoting Made in Cameroon products: Mayor Chenwi in Canada for creation of African Business Centre.

Bamenda II Mayor with Cameroonians living in Canada

In a bid to promote Made in Cameroon products and showcase agricultural and other products from the Bamenda II Municipality in particular, the North West Region in general and Cameroon as a whole, the Mayor of Bamenda II Council, Chenwi Peter, is currently in Canada for the creation of an African Business Centre, ABC, in Toronto.



The mayor’s current visit to Canada, it should be noted, is a follow-up mission of another visit he undertook in August 2024, during which he signed a Partnership Agreement with the City Council of Brampton in Ontario.

Meanwhile, the focus of the current visit is to attend a planning meeting for the establishment of an African Business Centre, ABC, the first African Mall to be established in Toronto, Canada. 

Mayor Chenwi Peter and the Bamenda II Council have been invited to play a key role in the creation of the ABC. The establishment of an African Business Centre, it should be noted, will enable Bamenda II Council to showcase some agricultural and other products that the municipality and the North West Region are blessed with, and at the same time promote Made in Cameroon products. 

 

Decorates Canada-based Cameroonian

On the sidelines of the ABC conference, Mayor Peter Chenwi decorated Emmanuel Ntoko, a Canada-based patriotic Cameroonian, who has been accomplishing much for his fatherland, in various forms.

The mayor, during a ceremony, adorned Ntoko and his wife in North West Traditional Regalia (Toghu). He further handed him a gift from the mayors of Bamenda, as a mark of their recognition and appreciation.

It should be recalled that Emmanuel Ntoko had organised a warm reception for the mayor, during his last visit, supported the 2024 back-to-school project of the Bamenda II Council, as well as the distribution of medical equipment to some health centres in the Bamenda II municipality. 

While appreciating Ntoko for what he is doing for Cameroonians in Canada and back home, Mayor Chenwi encouraged him not to relent in doing good and bringing together Cameroonians in Canada. 

For his part, Ntoko, while showing gratitude to Mayor Chenwi for the mark of recognition, promised not to relent his efforts towards bringing together Cameroonians in the diaspora and back home, for peace, unity and development of fatherland, Cameroon. 

He expressed full commitment to mobilise Cameroonians based in Canada to get registered on the voter registers, so as to be ready to perform their civic duties as Cameroon moves towards elections. 

Emmanuel Ntoko further disclosed that his doors are widely open to all mayors from the North West Region and Cameroon at large, visiting Canada for one development activity or another. 

He then extended warm greetings to North West elite for the giant strides they are making towards bringing back peace and normalcy to the Region, notwithstanding security challenges. The recognition ceremony was marked by conviviality and general merry-making.
