in the crisis hit Regions of Anglophone Cameroon late Aug 2023, Akum sons and daughters
came out in their mass to say enough to the madness of school lock down by clearing
and opening class rooms abandoned in the bush.
After
over 6 years of school lockdown and non effective opening, the population in utter
disrespect of all the threats said enough is enough and rallied behind one of it’s
elite Iris TANDONG an illustrious son, a go getter and a businessman cum contractor
to clear open abandoned schools in Akum.

children’s education in the French speaking zones of Cameroon at cut throat prices.
When they have schools behind their house, cheap, affordable and accessible.
Hear
them on the occasion, as Akum village came out in their entirety to clear open their
schools “our children’s fundamental rights to education must be respected, there
is no bargain about it. The future of this country shall lie in the hands of educated
youths not illiterates. We have taken our stands, schools must go”

or destroy a whole generation. The future lies in the hands of the youth and they
must be educated.
