“The task
ahead is heavy, the expectations are many; the misunderstandings unforeseeable.
Yet no errors will be pardoned. You must therefore exercise unbridled caution
and vigilance if you will live up to the challenge that awaits you at CSPH.” It
was with these words of caution that Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana, Minister of
Trade and Board Chairman of CSPH, commissioned Okie Johnson Ndoh, 55, and
Veronique Manzoa, 51, into their functions as the new Director General and
Deputy Director General respectively of the Hydrocarbons Prices Stabilization
Fund, CSPH, on Friday 15 December 2017.
For Okie Johnson Ndoh, Mbarga
Atangana at once reassured him that with his wealth of experience as a seasoned
public administrator and public finance manager, there is no doubt he has what
it takes to rise to the challenge at CSPH. He cautioned Okie Ndoh not to live
anything to chance, reminding him that his predecessor Elung Paul has raised
the bar so high at the petroleum prices stabilization company.
“When your predecessor, Elung
Paul Che, came to CSPH, he met a company that was virtually in distress. And
this was because of the difficult context at the time marked by constantly
fluctuating prices of downstream petroleum on the world market. But being the
shrewd, tenacious, perspicacious and assiduous manager that he is, Elung used
his unquestionable ingenuity and high sense of anticipation to turn things around
for the company. In fact, he has not only bequeathed a financially healthy
company, he has also raised the bar so high for future managers of CSPH. Today,
CSPH boasts sufficient reserves to withstand any unforeseen external shocks,”
Atangana Mbarga said, noting that Elung Paul is living the CSPH after 4 years
and 8 months, head high.
The Board Chairman used the occasion to extend
to Elung Paul and his collaborators, the very high appreciation of the Head of
State and the satisfaction of the Board of Directors.
He exhorted the new DG, like his
predecessor, Elung Paul, to be exceedingly cautious and vigilant, and to
excersise ingenuity and claivoyance if he must live up to the challenge that is
he’s at CSPH.
“By picking you for the CSPH
job, President Paul Biya knows only too well the brilliant career you have had
in the public administration and how you have proven your mettle as a public
finance manager. The President has no doubt therefore that you will be able to
live up to the challenge. So, you must do everything possible not to betray
this mark of high confidence and trust that the President has placed on you,”
Minister Atangana Mbarga said to Okie Johnson Ndoh.
He enjoined the new DG and his
deputy to cultivate a spirit of frank and fruitful collaboration so as to live
up to the challenge that awaits them.
He underscored the need for them
to make CSPH a shiny example of the spirit of unity and living together that is
the one thing most needful in Cameroon today.
Commentators at the installation
event observed that with the exchange of books between the outgoing and
in-coming DGs done in an atmosphere of joy and conviviality, Okie Johnson Ndoh
can now embrace his new tasks with a clear head and in high spirits, especially
as he was also reassured of the blessings of the Traditional Rulers of Nguti
sub-division, who made a powerful
presence at the installation ceremony.
The
hugely attended installation ceremony at the sumptuous CSPH headquarters
building in down town Yaounde witnessed the presence among others of Ministers,
Senators, MPs, Traditional Rulers and CPDM supporters from the Nguti section,
family members, friends and the hoi-poloi.
Reactions
It is the
hand of God
- Okie Ndoh, New DG of CSPH
I see the
hand of God in this appointment. I hope that with the force of God, with the
hand of God and with the blessing of God I will be able to live up to the
challenge that awaits me at CSPH. I seize this opportunity to thank the head of
state, President Paul Biya, and promise that for the good student that I am, I
will go back to my books and read and understand the tasks that await me so as
to be able to deliver the expected results.
I thank
President Paul Biya
- Veronique Manzoa, Deputy DG
I thank the
Head of State immensely for this mark of high confidence that he has placed on
my modest person. I will stand by my boss, the Director General, so that
together we will assume our mission fully and give our own contribution to the
growth of the national economy and ensure social peace and unity in Cameroon.
It is a
generation challenge
- Senator Mbella Moki Charles
We are happy
with the choice of the head of state. It is an honour done to the South West
region and particularly to our generation. I consider it a generation challenge
which encumbers all of us in this generation to give our full support to Mr.
Okie Johnson and ensure that he succeeds in his mission.
Nguti now has
a torch-bearer
- Epey John Bate, Nguti elite
Our joy is so
profound for this unexpected Christmas gift from President Paul Biya. This is
arguably the biggest surprise and the most precious gift that the President has
given the Nguti people ever since our political God-father, Pa Nzo Ekanghaki,
quit the political scene about a decade or so ago. So we have every reason to
sing and dance because our joy is so immense. You can see the number of people
who have travelled all the way from Nguti just to come and join our brother
Okie Ndoh in thanking President Paul Biya unreserdly for choosing a veritable
unifier as our leader and torch-bearer.
