The signing was done by Ambe Macmillian Awa, CAMASEJ N.W chapter president on behalf of his association and Fonchuh Nathaniel Aseh, the hotel's financial accountant, seating in for the manager,  Mr. Augustine Powege Halle who facilitated the deal. Upon dropping their pens, both personalities shook hands and exchanged copies of the MoU amidst cheers from the association's members.

Reacting to the signing, Lohshie Eugene, a member of CAMASEJ N.W said "This is a very laudable and appreciable initiative because we can't overemphasis the relationship journalists build with enterprises and institutions. This now offers an opportunity for CAMASEJANS within and without the region to be able to enjoy the litany of services a very reputable hotel like Blue Pearl offers." He ended by appreciating the hotel's management for having found it intricate to sign such an MoU with CAMASEJ because to him, it's a big win for both parties.

Asked to disclose what nurtured the idea and subsequent signing of such a fruitful agreement, Ambe Macmillian revealed that inspiration came after observing the number of national and international journalists that keep streaming into the N.W region to cover the ongoing Anglophone crisis and for other purposes. Usually, they will need the best of comfort in a standard and well secured lodging facility. Thus, after conducting a survey, Blue Pearl Hotel was found to be the best. Upon arrival at the receptionist, all a journalist has to do is to identify his or herself as a CAMASEJAN by presenting his/her membership card.

Before now CAMASEJ N.W had in the past signed MoUs with other institutions like the Bamenda Regional Hospital in which CAMASEJANS have been and are still benefiting from a 50% discount on all medical bills incurred by members when in ill health while the members themselves have as obligation to constantly be reporting about the hospital. This MoU was signed on the 20th of July 2017. For this, the current President extended a special vote of thanks  to the past executive council that was headed by Akah Rosaline Obah,  "It was a wonderful initiative which my office and members have also added some wood to the flames" Ambe opined. "It has helped us to be really strong and you can feel the strength of the help in the strength of our reports for it's only a healthy journalist that can produce a healthy report" he ended.

Both parties are now expected to begin meeting their terms of the MoU in  the days ahead so as to begin  reaping the benefits
