Personality of The Week Boniface Abayo Dashaco: Chairman, PDG Dashaco Holdings.

True to such vision and call, Cameroon’s energy and petroleum sector this week, witnessed the operationalisation of DASH Energies. It is one of the ventures of serial entrepreneur, Douala-based Boniface Abayo Dashaco, popularly known as Bony Dashaco.

Unlike other such ventures that have gained ground on the strength of diaspora and Foreign Director Investment, FDI, the DASH Energies venture is a purely Cameroonian undertaking. 

The launch of its first filling station in the Douche Akwa neighbourhood of Douala, with the announcement of setting up 100 others nationwide in less than no time, has been reverberating across the nation and beyond.

Beyond the news of the historic venture, the development has gained traction in the business world and circles of development. This is especially among persons with interest to improve Cameroon’s balance of trade, creating opportunities for the youth and strengthening the country’s energy sovereignty.

Thus, The Guardian Post, which continues to stay relevant as the cornerstone of journalism best practices, credibility and audience engagement across the Economic Community of Central African States, ECCAS, also relayed the new page that has opened for DASH Energies.

Yet, in the brackets of elevating the Company’s operationalisation to the podium of giving its versatile vision bearer, Boniface Abayo Dashaco, a place among the very rare characters that have enjoyed the fame of Personality of The Week, the audience had not yet decided.

But as the week drew to a close, Dashaco, who is the President Director General Officer, PDG, of Groupe Dashaco Holdings, had earned millions of endorsements from The Guardian Post readers across the globe to be archived, honoured and celebrated, not just as a monument of change but as the 25th Personality of The Week for the year gradually grinding out.

Our readers say the reactions, even in the cosmos say one thing; that Dashaco is a special being born for special things and destined to remain a phenomenal highflyer.
