The sum of 3 million FCFA has been shared to some one hundred students and pupils by the Tubah council to prepare them for the 2014/2015 school year.

The over 100 students, pupils made up of indigenes went home with 25,000 FCFA each as payment for the one month they worked at the council, from the 1st to the 31st of July.

Speaking to the press shortly after receiving the money, Ngwe Eunice Tumfung, an upper sixth student at one of the colleges in the municipality was impressed with the council and the mayor, Tanjong Martin for the booster he had given her and the other students and pupils of the area.

For Eunice, it will be a relief for her parents who might not have been able to make up for her school needs. She said the money would be used to buy books and other school items to lessen the burden on her parents, considering that she had many brothers and sisters who are also schooling.

Clearing the council surroundings and some major streets, cultivating soya beans in the council garden, preparing a poultry farm for the rearing of birds for the council and planting over 400 trees at the Kedjou Keku mile 13 cattle market were some of the duties assigned to the holiday makers.

Mayor Tanjong told the press that the council and counselors were determined to support children from less privileged families. This, he said was their own way to support the much heralded vision 2035.

The mayor has just this year embarked on the distribution of benches, zincs, pens, chalks, blackboard to schools in the municipality. During the donation, he explained that his priority was to give sound education to the future generation of his municipality.
