(Business in Cameroon) - Following a roadwork visit in Adamaoua, one of Cameroon’s three Northern regions along with the North and Far North, the Minister of Public Works, Emmanuel Nganou Djoumessi (photo), reported the underperformance of many companies.

In addition to bill payment issues and weather variations cited by construction operators as reasons for poor service quality, the minister mentioned that in the North and Adamaoua regions, there are no laterite deposits, making materials supply difficult.

That’s why we rather use stabilizers and innovative materials which, when in contact with the ground, contribute to the road’s stabilization,” the minister said in an interview with Cameroun Tribune.

Above all, Djoumessi stressed that the poor performance observed is related to the companies’ current large portfolio. Indeed, he explains, many companies commit to several projects and finally fail to deliver efficient results.
