Renowned business magnet Dr. Charles Namme Menyoli has been honored with an award in recognition of the huge developmental and humanitarian works he has undertaken in the region and beyond. The award was given to him last January 22 by the Meme Chapter of the South West Elites Association, SWELA.

                Receiving the award, the ailing Dr. Charles Menyoli said it was a privilege to receive such an award. He said his company will continue to develop not only Fako but other regions as well.

                To Dr. Menyoli’s son, Thomas Malelu Menyoli, who is Managing Director of his father’s businesses, his father deserves the award because he has contributed enormously in the development of society.

“My father has done a lot to our community: He has built churches, helped the less privileged, offered scholarships etc. He has now engaged in real estate to solve the growing accommodation needs in the region,” he said.

                Speaking to the press, the Asst. SG of SWELA, Prince Nasako Daniel Molondo opined that the award is aimed to motivate individuals who are helping in the development of the region because the government cannot carryout development alone.

“We decided to come up with this initiative as a means of motivating and encouraging them to continue with their developmental initiatives,” Prince Nasako said.

                Dr. Menyoli Charles, who is the founder and CEO of the much acclaimed Fako Transport and Shipping company has engaged in vast humanitarian works in the region such as the building and equipping of the Bonduma traditional council hall, donations to various church projects, scholarships to students amongst others.

The company is presently engaged in the construction of low cost houses at the Bulu area to solve the accommodation problems of the growing population of Buea.
