Star Building job: Dion Ngute following in footsteps of Achidi Achu.

Like the late Simon Achidi Achu, who used his grassroots political savvy in the 90s to quell tension in the NW & SW regions, so too has Dion Ngute

Two storms that have threatened the very foundation of Cameroon under the Biya regime to the extent doomsayers were making mockery of leadership choices and decisions are the political tensions of the 1990s and the armed conflict in the North West and South West regions.

 

 

In the 90s, it was the political tension that rocked the English-speaking regions and other parts of the country with the introduction of multiparty politics that triggered darkness over the nation. The ghost towns and destruction of property had eaten into the social fabric, with potentials to cause more trouble for Cameroon.

President Paul Biya would without wasting time opt for a political genius with uncommon attachment to the local population in the person of the late Hon Simon Achidi Achu, to serve as Prime Minister. That was on April 9, 1992, after the parliamentary polls of that year.

In the case of the armed conflict in the North West and South West regions, the man saddled with turning the tides since 2019 has been Chief Dr Joseph Dion Ngute.

As Prime Minister, Head of Government, many have rated him as the only other PM who is marching and may even surpass what Achidi Achu, of blessed memory, did for the country in his days as PM.

Achidi Achu came with a grassroots approach to peace. He opened the doors to dialogue with the population. He criss-rossed the nation, addressing the population and restoring order.

It came to pass that before Achidi Achu left the Star Building on September 19, 1996, Cameroon’s unity as a country had been revived.

 

 Dion Ngute following in Achidi Achu’s footsteps?

Keen observers of the sociopolitical climate in the North West and South West regions before 2019 and now, say the current Prime Minister, Head of Government, Chief Dr Joseph Dion Ngute, is the only other Head of Government President Biya has ever appointed whose performances have been historic.

The general belief among most Cameroonians, especially Anglophones, is that PM Dion Ngute has done and is still doing to the armed conflict in the North West and South West regions what Achidi Achu did for quietude and peace to return nationwide in the 90s.

On grounds of merit, impact, popularity, focus and results achieved, barely four years as Prime Minister, Dion Ngute, many have stated and rightly so, is already a silent historic character of the Biya administration.

Those who project this argument say like Achidi Achu whose prime assignment was to appease the tense political climate of the 90s, Dion Ngute, whom Biya entrusted with the herculean task of solving the impasse in the North West and South West regions, has proven that the Head of State did not make any mistake in settling for him as Head of Government.

The situation of things across the English-speaking regions today compared to the pre-2019 years before Dion Ngute’s appointment as Prime Minister, analysts say, point to a man who has steadily and unassumingly written his name on the sands of time.

Many now hold the view and uncontestably so that, in decades to come, Dion Ngute like the late Achidi Achu, will be cited for excellent reasons as the Prime Minister who rescued the North West and South West regions from the siege of a separatist movement.

When this shrewd diplomat, traditional ruler and distinct Biya loyalist for years, was given the Star Building job, many cast doubts on his abilities and style that have left indelible mark in the diplomatic, academic and traditional spheres.

But today, his critics have buried their heads in shame given the pace at which peace is returning to the once troubled Anglophone regions.

 

The Dion Ngute-effect

The narrative today is that Prime Minister Dion Ngute has replicated on a national scale the same level of exploits he had, when he served the country in different portfolios.

Many have and excellently so, attributed his successes in appeasing the political climate in the North West and South West regions to his unassuming nature, never-seen humility, scandal-free life, popularity and attachment to serve Cameroonians; irrespective of their areas of origin.

It makes sense to state that PM Dion Ngute is the man who has been handed the most difficult task in recent decades in Cameroon.

The social climate in the Anglophone regions today, it is now being assessed, shows that his peace offensives to the North West and South West regions have produced great fruits.

His effect on the peace project in the North West and South West regions started becoming real when he first instituted broad-based consultations with varying voices across the board. 

The likes of the late Christian Cardinal Tumi, Social Democratic Front, SDF, National Chairman, Ni John Fru Ndi, it is mooted, became vocal on the need for order in the restive regions thanks to the credibility Dion Ngute brought into the equation of silencing coughing guns and reviving communities.

 

Dion Ngute’s unique style of conveying peace messages

The jolts of hope, community revival and orderliness in the Cameroonian Diaspora in four years of Dion Ngute’s leadership as Prime Minister has been inextricably linked to his way of conveying peace messages.

Until he was made Prime Minister, Head of Government, many in public offices never saw the need to talk to the people in a language they understand.

It was Dion Ngute who initiated communication in pidgin-English over the media and other proximity campaigns to the local population.

Like Achidi Achu who went round re-orientating public opinion, Dion Ngute till date, remains the only Anglophone elite who has stepped from his high horse on several occasions to address the population in markets and on the streets across Bamenda, Kumba, Buea, Santa, Tiko and beyond.

The decision to address the masses in pidgin English has not only projected Dion Ngute as the man who identifies and shares in the plight of the underprivileged but has, most importantly contributed hugely in calming hitherto rising tempers in the North West and South West regions. 

Relating to other strata of the conflict and the Diaspora in particular, the Prime Minister is credited with creating avenues for discussions.

Four years on, the number of compatriots who have dumped the secession agenda; online violence; embraced peace and now working towards building a one and indivisible Cameroon is innumerable.

One of the great fruits of such engagements were the once separatist adherents, now patriots who lined to receive President Paul Biya in America when he travelled to take part in the US-Africa summit at the close of 2022.

 

A Prime Minister everyone wants to talk to      

In addressing the armed conflict in the North West and South West regions, what is clear, pundits say, is that Dion Ngute’s credibility scale has no traces of doubt and dishonesty.  

Known for his high probity, the Prime Minister, Head of Government, many say, has maintained a lane of sincerity in his overtures and actions to see his kith and kin in the North West and South West regions live in peace.

The outstanding harvest for this high moral ground for the current PM like in the Achidi Achu days, it is now being weighed, with everyone always willing and open to listen and discuss with him.

This, many say, explains why in all of his outings to the English-speaking regions, many Amba fighters have dropped their arms and gone to DDR centres and hardliners and doubting Thomases shifting grounds in favour of peace.

Beyond the North West and South west regions, Dion Ngute is also throttling at a high credit frequency in solving other national issues nationwide.

Many have described him as the most popular and liked Prime Minister President Biya has ever had.  

 

How did he get this far? 

For many, the fruits are simply the outcome of hard work by a man who, throughout his career, has stayed off controversies, unproductive ventures and loves getting things done no matter how hard they may seem.

 

PM Dion Ngute eclipsing the invisible separatist grip on NW, SW

There has been a turnaround for good in the social climate across the North West and South West regions since PM Dion Ngute embarked on preaching peace on all fronts.

Prior to his appointment to the high office in 2019, deadly clashes, lockdowns, intimidation, arson and other acts of barbarism were a daily occurrence.

Many did not imagine that any public official would have the gumption to try to change things for good.

But PM Dion Ngute, since taking the pilot seat in government action, principally in restoring order in the North West and South West regions, acted like the man who saw the future from the beginning.

He has been preaching peace, nationhood and marketing the need for coughing guns to cease with undying passion.

At worst, even on separatist-imposed ghost towns and lockdown days, Dion Ngute put country first; weathering the storms with faith that the Cameroon project could be reinvented and concerns addressed internally for the common good.

Dion Ngute for some, may not have attained perfection (which of course is not of this world), but in six years of the armed conflict in the North West and South West regions, admirers say he has been, and is still that pillar and personality dispensing just every ingredient needed to stabilise and revive the restive English-speaking regions in a way no other Anglophone of this generation would have done.

 

Dion Ngute, the stainless, unifying PM

One of the key qualities of PM Dion Ngute not traceable to politicians and leaders of this generation, especially in the Cameroonian context, is the distance between him and divisive tendencies.

The peace-loving Prime Minister, Paramount ruler of the Barombis and traditional ruler of Bongongo village in Ekondo-Titi subdivision, Ndian division of the South West region, has in all his years of service to the nation not been the subject of any controversy.

He lives and dwells in a realm of serenity, always focus on what his master and Head of State, President Paul Biya, assigned him to do.

Even at a time when some ill-intentioned individuals have been on a campaign to trigger division among North Westerners and South Westerners, Dion Ngute, stands unique as one of the few Biya giants who have their place in the gatherings of communities that make up Cameroon with all rights and privileges.

This justifies the mammoth crowds that have always turned out to receive the humble and results-oriented PM in all regions of Cameroon. 

From South to the East, Littoral, South West, North West and Northern regions, every outing of the current Prime Minister, on the instructions of the Head of State, has been spiced with a huge population turnout.

In the case of the North West and South West regions, never for once has Dion Ngute ever been cited or been a party to campaigns of discrimination and xenophobia.

This alone, many are saying, accounts for the unbroken ease the Prime Minister had in delivering his messages of peace and calling his Anglophone kith and kin who have taken the wrong path to come to reason and contribute to nation building.

Those who are usually jealous of Dion Ngute’s integrity and acclaimed levelheadedness have always been reminded to trace his path to the Star Building.

He has been a responsible holder of public office whose departure or change of portfolio has always left collaborators and superiors in nostalgia given his genuine way of doing things.

Akin to what is being  said today of the late Achidi  Achu when  history books are revisited,  the evaluation  from  all perspectives, analysts say, indicate that, it needed only a man with Dion Ngute’s  identity, DNA, popularity, influence and shrewdness  to serve as Prime Minister in challenging  era for Cameroon  such as  now.

 

PM who revived school attendance, rescued a generation

Among the many breakthroughs Dion Ngute has recorded in addressing the impasse in the North West and South West regions is the sharp rise in the number of children attending school.

When Dion Ngute was handed the Star Building job, almost all schools across the two English-speaking regions were shut. But in the last four years, his crusade for effective schooling has resulted in major milestones.

Thousands of children are now attending classes in the North West and South West regions. The General Certificate of Education, GCE exams, are now written in most centres that had gone comatose between 2017 and 2018. It is the same with the Common Entrance and First School Leaving Certificate, FSLC exams in the primary education sector.

Study environment in several other higher institutions of learning; especially the universities of Bamenda and Buea, has greatly improved.

Putting the revival of education into perspective, many say PM Dion Ngute is a classless and matchless patriot who has rescued a generation from missing out on acquiring knowledge to guarantee their place in the Cameroon of tomorrow.

 

Community revival in NW, SW under Dion Ngute

The North West and South West regions of 2019 with deserted communities and abandoned farms is something different today.

The years of labour by the Prime Minister amid attacks and conspiracies from feeble minded and power-hungry individuals, have resulted in the massive revival of communities.

Many social ventures and cultural festivals that disappeared have been reactivated.  Thousands of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, have returned home. Farms and other petty businesses that made life thick before the crisis have been revamped.

Events like the recent mourning of the missing Fo’o Angwafo III of Mankon, which pulled huge crowds on a daily basis for weeks, have only come to confirm that normalcy has far advanced in the crisis-hit English-speaking regions.

Other coronations and festive activities have taken place in the hinterlands of the North West, especially in Baligham village where the annual Lela Dance, which had been suspended, was held last December.

The sister South West region is not any different as since the coming of Dion Ngute, a revered traditional ruler, several coronations and community celebrations have taken place. 

From Buea to Limbe, Kumba, Ekondo-Titi, Poala and several other Chiefdoms, gatherings have remained encouraging. No man could dare this before 2019.

The turn of events, those who acknowledge the gains made say, is a testament of the energy Dion Ngute has put in across the two English-speaking regions.

Roads that were blocked have now become passable while most of those who held communities hostage have given way to peace.

 

Gains of Dion Ngute’s outreaching leadership style

Achidi Achu killed the ghost towns and restored order nationwide in a way so unique that the personality of Dion Ngute and his achievements as Prime Minister, observers say, only tally to the new impetus he brought in as Prime Minister in 2019.

The proficiency and audacity of the current Star Building occupant in dousing fire, igniting hope where there is despondency and rebuilding bonds of unity where there is discord have given him a high score even when assessed using a presidential compass and prism.

It is now even more evident that when President Paul Biya showered praises on Dion Ngute for the staging of the Major National Dialogue of 2019 and the recommendations arrived at then, the Head of State was doing so from a position of results and satisfaction.

In terms of further addressing the concerns of the  people of the North West and  South West regions, the Dion Ngute-led government under President Biya’s guidance can boast  of  marshaling the institution of  Regional Assemblies for the  North West and  South West regions and Regional Councils for the other eight regions.

The equation is even better with the two English-speaking regions now having a Special Status and the House of Chiefs in place. The Regional Assemblies of the two regions plus Public Independent Conciliators, PIs, are already functional in line with the existing legal frame work.

Concurrently, Dion Ngute has also enhanced President Paul Biya’s disarmament drive in the two regions.

It is within the importance of this drive for the return of peace in the North West and South West regions that the Prime Minister has ensured a steady flow of investments to put in place required structures and other resources to host ex-Amba fighters.

 

Rebuilding NW, SW & Far North regions

The Dion Ngute-led government has worked on all four cylinders. This explains why in addition to the many peace campaigns, the Prime Minister has also remained focus in seeing that the Presidential Plan for the Reconstruction and Development of the North West and South West regions, PPRD-NW/SW, is fully implemented.

Dion Ngute, a workaholic who has an unquenchable quest for results, has been doing this while at the same time marketing the plan to get support from the private sector and friendly countries.

When the former PPRD-NW/SW Coordinator, Minister Paul Tasong, faced the press when the plan was 18 months on the field, the scorecard only added value to the work  the Dion Ngute-team has been doing since 2019.

As at that time, the PPRD-NW/SW, which is a recovery plan, had seen the rehabilitation of 19 water points enabling over 174,000 people to have access to drinking water.

He also talked of 16 health centres rehabilitated now providing healthcare to 5,451 persons, over 7,000 students and teachers now having access to good learning space with some 22 schools rehabilitated.

Within the same scheme, over 48,000 persons are now being serviced by four bridges also rehabilitated, 8,000 lost documents recovered, over 60 insider mediators have been trained to enhance community peace, 12 social and cultural festivals and events staged to revive social cohesion across the North West and South West regions and over 126,500 persons benefitting from some five community centres already renewed.

In the agricultural sector, some 2,402 farmers have received farm equipment and tools, 40 greenhouses erected to boost food production, 53 stores transformed to revive economic activities and 20 young start-uppers trained, mentored and given funding. Close to 50 cooperatives have also received support to revive production.

For the Far North region which has suffered from Boko Haram incursions, PM Dion Ngute has, under the impulse of President Biya, instituted a Presidential Plan for its Reconstruction and Development.

It is a project inspired based on the rapid response from kids who have dumped the terrorist group and are ready to start a new life.

 

Dion Ngute’s positive bulletin on other national issues

Beyond his attachment to seeing order return to the English-speaking regions, Chief Dr Joseph Dion Ngute is also standing tall in handling other national issues.

Top among them is the piloting of government’s response against COVID-19. The PM, between 2020 and now is credited with mobilising the entire government to put COVID-19 under control nationwide.

It is the same Dion Ngute’s government that held the forte for Cameroon in hosting important sporting events like the African Nation Championship, CHAN, and the 33rd edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.

Coordinating actions and ensuring projects were delivered within deadlines, many say is another feat for the PM who did so while at the same time handling other pressing national issues.

As a harbinger of peace and a charismatic nation builder, Dion Ngute has also kept pace with the changing economic trends. It is within this prism that in the last four years, he has engaged the private sector to strike a balance on making adjustments to contain  the rising cost of production (not unique to Cameroon) and ensuring the country’s growth source remains on course.

Putting the trend of events since 2019 what obtains nationwide today vis-à-vis world trends, the fresh submissions from development and leadership experts is that, Chief Dr Joseph Dion Ngute is not only walking in the footsteps of Achidi Achu, but he has raised the bar higher for what it means to serve country and people in a time such as this.

For others, Dion Ngute is simply the publicity-shy Prime Minister who is not distracted by his unrivalled popularity in implementing the political vision of President Paul Biya.
