One of the specificities of the effective decentralisation drive is that it gives the two regions part of the responsibility for their development and gives all equal access to local services. The revelation was made by Prof. Anjoh Frii-Manyi Rose, Commissioner for Education, Sports and Cultural Development at the North West Regional Assembly.
She was speaking in Mbengwi of recent during a ceremony to launch activities for the implementation of the Peace and Development Initiative (P.D.I) and capacity building seminar for peace crusaders, actors of Community Decentralised Activities of the North West Regional Assembly to be executed in all five subdivisions of Momo.

On Thursday March 9 2022, the conference hall of the Divisional Delegation of Labour and Social Security played host to over a hundred attendees that sat through the various speeches and presentations. According to Fouda Etaba Bernoit Nicaise, Senior Divisional Officer of Momo, there are a lot of projects coming to the various subdivisions in his area of command and it'll only be through peace that the beloved population will harvest many fruits from the regional assembly in terms of education, development.
The Rev. Ngongang Paul Anyam, Meta Presbytery Secretary of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon after his presentation on Peace Building told Mbengwi Online that "We have to reshape peace meaning that it is not an individual matter and I insist that peace and justice are bed fellows meaning positive peace goes with the fact that justice should be meted out."

The second day of the launching was marked by a sports and cultural festival on the Mbengwi municipal stadium that saw the first cycle girls of Government High School Tudig clashing with their peers of the second cycle in football girls while in football boys, Mbengwi United defeated Widikum Strikers at post match penalties. Away from football, gastronomical, arts and craft exhibitions plus traditional dances also caught the attention of the audience.
Winners and participants in the various disciplines were awarded cash prizes. At the close of the ceremony, Mbengwi Online met the coordinator of the project in Momo, Prof. Anjoh Frii-Manyi Rose for an assessment of the launching ceremony she first began by appreciating the Fons, religious authorities, politicians, elites and other collaborators that were part of the event and most especially the indigenes of Batibo, Widikum, Njikwa and Ngie who braved all the odds to see the projects that they themselves identified being launched. "All what the North West Regional Assembly needs is the collaboration of the population" she added.

Then she continued "We have come to tell the population that the North West Regional Assembly belongs to them, that the president of the republic H.E Paul Biya listened to their cry and called the Major National Dialogue in 2019 from which one of the outcomes was the creation of regional councils and regional assemblies with special statues. The population had cried that they want to be part of the development of their divisions, subdivisions and villages. That is why it can only be done through the North West Regional Assembly which has earmarked a number of projects that will be carried out to upgrade the lives of inhabitants. We need peace to be able to developke ourselves especially our roads and some of these projects involve the rehabilitation of these roads so that our mothers in the villages can be able to carry their food crops and go sell. Some of the villages have complained that their water points are bad and so we are going to be working with them to rehabilitate these water points."
This is just the first phase of the project and upon completion in about two or three months from now, if well done, the Assembly will be back with the second phase before the year ends. Consequently, using the High Intensity Labour Approach (HILA) hundreds of persons in the five subdivisions that make up Momo division will be employed following the terms of the Labour Code and paid above the minimum wage through credit unions affiliated to the Cameroon Cooperative Credit Union League (CamCCUL). The Momo Divisional Delegate of Labour and Social Security, Mrs Alota Bridget and the General Manager of the Njindom Cooperative Credit Union Limited (NjiCCUL) confirmed these to attendees.
