SDF hails works on K’ba-Mamfe road, Tiko Airport
By Ajongakou Santos in Buea
Senior officials of the SDF party have called on government to tar the Kumba-Mundemba road as a means of improving access to the Bakassi Peninsular and also alleviating poverty among the populations living along the stretch.  This was one of the recommendations of an enlarged executive meeting of the party held recently in Muyuka.
    SDF authorities equally appreciated government on the on-going works on the Kumba-Mamfe road also commended the decision to rehabilitate the Tiko Airport.
    Meanwhile John Fru Ndi’s party sounded a strong appeal to government to consider relocating the close to 3000 persons living around the Tiko Airport area.

    On the issue of a site for the Higher Technical Teachers’ Training College, KTTTC Kumba, the SDF called on politicians to keep out of the matter and allow the University of Buea to decide on the purely academic matter.
    On another score, the SDF party deplored the administration’s involvement in notorious the land grabbing phenomenon in Fako and the creation of fictitious chiefdoms with questionable historical origins.
    Attended by SDF shadow cabinet ministers, parliamentarians and mayors, the meeting was aimed to take the political temperature of the region. It called on Cameroonians and SDF sympathizers in particular to register massively on the electoral registers as future elections are fast approaching.
    Chaired by the SDF South West Regional Chairman Mr. George Ngeke Likiye, party militants condemned the upsurge of terrorist activities by Boko Haram.
