Biya to personally supervise projects
The President of the Republic of Cameroon, Paul BIYA has pledged to personally steer preparations towards a successful organisation of the 2019 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.
                President Biya made the declaration on 10 August 2017 at the Unity Palace during a reception organised by he and his wife in honour of Cameroonian athletes who won medals in recent international competitions. 

                He later decorated the 161 persons including athletes, trainers, journalists and technicians who formed the delegations to the Francophonie Games and the Islamic Solidarity Games.
                The medals were distributed as follows: Knights of the Order of Valour (28); Knights of the Order of Merit (34); First Class Order of Merit in Sports (38); and Second Class Order of Merit in Sports (60).
                One of the laureates, Arrey Sophia NtuiAyuk, who won bronze in judo, at the Francophonie games in Abidjan, thanked President Paul BIYA and First Lady Chantal BIYA for the recognition and constant support they accord to sportsmen and women in Cameroon. She emphatically asserted that the Presidential Couple is a perfect example of “true promoters” of sports in Cameroon.
