A ceremony to reopen the building took place in Yaounde, Thursday July 20, 2017.

The building was officially put back into use following an inaugural chaired by the Director General of OAPI, Dr. Paulin Edou Edou. Staff of the organisation and other guests turned out at the courtyard of the OAPI headquarters in Yaounde to witness the colourful cutting of the symbolic ribbon, Thursday July 20, 2017.

According to Dr. Edou, the building was refurbished years after the organization moved to a new building just beside the old one in order to conserve its architecture, beauty and history. “I have a feeling of satisfaction because I just cut the ribbon to reopen this building whose renovation was amongst the last of my objectives.
