The signing of a grant contract to that effect took place in Yaounde, Friday February 2, 2018. While the Charge d’Affaires at the Japanese Embassy in Cameroon, Ryuichiro Kobayashi signed for his country, the Board Chair of FEDEC, Alfred Bageka Assobo penned for the Cameroonian NGO.

He gave assurances that the project will be put in place within the specified time frame.
