Cameroon has continued introducing and celebrating the existence of major infrastructure milestones. The government this week added another achievement, the official inauguration of the head office of the Ministry of Public Works in the Etoudi neighborhood in Yaounde. Inaugurated by Prime Minister, Chief Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute, the ceremony included a ribbon cutting at the new site which is located in the Etoudi administrative centre near the Unity Palace.
Speaking while opening the ultramodern facility, the Prime Minister stated that the new facility equips the ministry with the necessary resources to meet its important responsibilities. He emphasized that a ministry responsible for national infrastructure must itself operate from facilities that enable efficient and effective service.
The Head of Government also acknowledged the work of the project team and the company for their role in completing the complex. The new complex is large and modern. It is made up of a 13-story main tower, a 10-story building, and another six-story facility. It has an overall total of 307 offices, nine meeting rooms, a conference hall for 124 people, and six elevators. To help workers, the building also includes a restaurant, a library, and a gym. The government emphasized that these modern facilities will enable the Ministry of Public Works to perform its crucial role more effectively. The ministry is responsible for major national infrastructure projects, including the design and maintenance of bridges, highways, and public buildings.
