Personality of The Week Yah Judith Sunday epse Achidi: CAMTEL GM.

 They usually give a blind eye to the examples from other corporations shining the light, even when the circumstances are speaking a different language.

In Cameroon, the state of the soul of such public entities is actually always known every three years. The assessment goes beyond the Annual Reports and Board Meetings that monitor performance every 12 months. 

But in the cup of government's tri-annual review, everyone is assessed on indices that tell which corporations are actually building the country and aligning with government policy. 

A document, released by the Minister of Finance, Louis Paul Motaze, on the classification of State institutions; covering the period 2022 to 2024, gained public attention this week. 

The categorisation came with the approval of the Prime Minister’s Office. 

On that national graph of performance, the Cameroon Telecommunications, CAMTEL, under the leadership of Yah Judith Sunday epse Achidi, is on position number one.

It is a feat that justifies her transparent management style, capacity, verve and energy in powering CAMTEL, since December 2018, when the Head of State, President Paul Biya, called her to serve at such a demanding level. 

In her first three years, the results-focused, humble and untiring Judith Achidi, gave CAMTEL a historic growth in turnover, to move to the classification of public corporation.

This season again, she has raised the bar even higher, putting to shame enemies, doubting Thomases, blackmailing networks and giving meaning to the Head of State, for identifying women as key pillars of national development.

She now holds the record of moving CAMTEL’s turnover from 108 billion FCFA in 2018, to 217 billion FCFA in 2024.

As at 2025, CAMTEL had climbed to 235 billion FCFA with a net profit of 13 billion FCFA. Those are the cast iron facts that make Judith Achidi a woman operating in a different cloud.
