(Business in Cameroon) - After over 25 years spent heading Société anonyme des brasseries du Cameroun (SABC), the local subsidiary of the French group Castel, André Siaka, who was also interim president of the pan-African banking group, Ecobank, is now making waves in the construction sector.
The construction company, Routd’Af (Routes d’Afrique), that he created with South African partners after he left Brasseries du Cameroun, has just been awarded a contract worth over 700 million FCFA by the Mission d’aménagement et d’entretien des terrains urbains et ruraux (Maétur).
According to the release on the results of the call for tenders made by the Maétur Managing Director, Louis Roger Manga, Routd’Af will complete in a maximum of six months, “road work, storm water drainage, surfacing and the Maetur housing development from Ngoulmekong to Bikok” in the suburb of Yaoundé, the Cameroonian capital.
