(Business in Cameroon) - This year, the Cameroonian government pulled efforts to develop and upgrade the national road network, the ministry of public works (Mintp) featured in the year-end review submitted to parliament.
“In the Public Works sector, significant efforts have been made. Many projects have seen the construction of 317.6 km of new asphalt roads and 144 linear meters of bridges,” Mintp said, stressing that through the adoption of an adequate regulatory framework, several works have been carried out by local workers in order to compensate for traffic disruptions.
