(Business in Cameroon) - The Cameroonian government has invited bids for the inspection and monitoring of construction works of some markets at its borders. These are the markets of Fotokol, in the extreme North bordering Nigeria, Ekok, in the South-West also bordering Nigeria and Garoua Boulaï, located in the Eastern region and sharing a border with the Central Africa Republic.

The three markets come in addition to those of Abang-Minko and Kyé-Ossi, both located in the South region of Cameroon, and which are the main places of commercial transactions with Gabonese and Equatorial Guineans traders.

Other similar projects should follow in the coming years, we learn from a source close to the project. The government wants to capitalise on the geographic location of Cameroon relative to Nigeria, leading economy in Africa, and the member countries of CEMAC and CEEAC, which together represent a market of 300 million consumers.
