The representatives of the 23 enterprises were handed over their licenses in a ceremony chaired by the Minister of Trade, Luc Magloire Mbarga Antangana.

Speaking on the occasion, Minister Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana said the licenses are proof of Government’s will to strengthen the private sector and reinforce sub-regional integration.

The authorisations will enable the enterprises reach a larger market of about 160 million customers, improve the quality of products through competition and account for a turnover of about 408 billion CFAF.

The representatives on their part called on the Cameroon Government to complete the construction of the Kumba – Mamfe road so as to improve business between Cameroon and neighbouring Nigeria.
