BUEA Mayor was never denied visa to UK

Contrary to a report in a local tabloid that Mayor Ekema Patrick Esunge was refused visa to travel to London to represent Cameroon at a capacity building seminar, The Median can state with unimpeachable evidence that the mayor actually got a 6-month visa to the United Kingdom.

                It should be recalled that Mayor Patrick Ekema was shortlisted alongside several other mayors and government delegates to participate at a training seminar in London. But it emerged that the mayor’s visa application arrived at the consular service of the British High Commission a little late.

And because it needed time for the application file to get to Ghana for procession and visa award, the mayor was issued the visa only after the date for the seminar had passed.

                reason why the Mayor could not travel to London for the seminar despite having secured a 6-month visa..
