11 February celebrations: ACMAR media boss in collaboration with Buea Council dash out 10MFCFA to support youths
The chief executive officer of ACMAR media group, Bony Danshaco, in partnership with the Buea Council under the leadership of its development oriented municipal head, Mayor Ekema Patrick Esunge have in a press conference granted yesterday in Buea outline some stringent measures which they plan to execute so as to give youths of the municipality a memorable and unforgettable national youth day celebration come Saturday February 11, 2017.
Speaking in the conclave that gathered pressmen form both the print and audio-visual sector, Bony Danshaco announced that his organisation was going to doll out a pregnant sum of 10Million FCFA to the best schools that will participate in the 11 February match pass.

The renowned entrepreneur and business magnet who hails from the North West Region explained that the decision to encourage youths of the municipality came as a result of a fruitful partnership between ACMAR media group and the Buea council.
Quizzed on the choice of the youth day, the CEO was categorical that when growing up, the youth day had always being a special day for them the youths and donating the sum of 10MFCFA was just to motivate them to not give up on the future and to bear in mind the adage that they remain the youths of tomorrow.
Danshaco equally used the press conference to call on all youths to come out massively on Saturday 11 and pay tributes to their father-land. An act which he describes as their civic responsibility and moral obligation.
On how the cash prize of 10Million FCFA will be distributed, the donor stated that the Regional Delegation will be charged with coming up of the procedure for selection and disbursement of to the selected school(s).
On his part, Mayor Ekema who is a foundation of the fruitful partnership which happened to be the first of its kind but not the last told pressmen that after holding several meetings with the administration of the South West Region and educational stakeholders, all had being put in place for a successful organisation of the National Youth Day.
On the contributions of council, the Mayor announced that the socio-cultural aspect of the celebrations will be taken care of by the municipality which has been putting in place every measure to ensure a successful organisation of the 51st edition of the national youth day.
