According to the Building Committee chairman, the construction begins right away and the peace of land would see a transformation in the months ahead.
“This place would be transformed in six months time. Give a ton of cement if you can. Give a bag of cement if you can. Let’s show the world that we can do things” were the words of Mr Meh Zang, as he chaired the ceremony.
While encouraging the population to support the project, the Yaounde Zonal President of ECUDA, Mr Wung Moses, said it is a giant project that would serve the entire community and not just Yaounde or the people of Esu thus he called on sons and daughters of Esu both at home and in the diaspora to support.
