NDECA New Executive
By Guest Writer
Sons and daughters of Nsongwa, Bamenda II Subdivision have met under the Nsongwa Development and Cultural Association (NDECA) in their Annual General Meeting (AGM) to reflect on the past year and chart a course for the future of the village. The meeting was held in the presence of Fon Fo’ngwadezah III at the Azap Multi-purpose Hall in mile 90.
It was the first time sons and daughters of Nsongwa from far and near were coming together after a very long time as a result of the socio-political crisis currently rocking the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon.
Top on the discussions was to map out strategies for 2026 especially as it will mark the 25th Anniversary of their Fon on the throne.
The event that was largely attended by the Association’s leaders, saw the presentation of the new executive who have renewed their commitment to community development.
The AGM also provided a platform for stakeholders to assess progress made in various sectors, including education, healthcare, and infrastructure. Delegates engaged in discussions on ways to enhance community engagement and support for Nsongwa’s growth.
NDECA, dedicated to promoting Nsongwa’s cultural heritage and socio-economic development, continues to play a vital role in mobilising community resources and initiatives. The new team is expected to build on past successes and drive initiatives forward.
