Mayor Mbigha Felix Honored For His Peace-Building Initiatives In Bamenda I

Mbigha Felix Of Bamenda I With His Award


By Raymond Dingana

Bamenda I, in the Mezam division of Cameroon's North West Region, is considered a "green zone,"one of the few areas in the crisis-affected region that has largely been spared from the level of security challenges faced by other council areas in the region.

Much of this stability can be attributed to the peace-building initiatives of Mbigha Felix, the municipal head of Bamenda I. Mbigha's efforts have not gone unnoticed, and he was recently awarded by the Gazette Media Group for being the 2023 Best and Silent Development Achiever, an honor he dedicated to the people of his municipality.

"I was a young mayor who came in, and the actors of this crisis in Bamenda I were young people. I had to explain the importance of development to them, and they saw it coming. They bought the ideas of embracing peace, and today, we are reaping the fruits,"
Mbigha said.

He further expressed that the award is an encouragement to continue working for the development of Bamenda I, a goal he is pursuing through engagement with the local population. 

"This award has come to encourage us to do better for the development of Bamenda I, and part of this development is through the population," he remarked.

Mbigha says his dream is to make Bamenda I the best council area in the North West Region, and he expressed his appreciation to the Gazette newspaper for the recognition of his peace-building work which serves as a booster to the his initiatives.
