Atanga Nji Paul: Minister of Territorial Administration

Yesterday 2^nd March 2017 during the evening news on the National TV and radio, it was announced that the Cameroonian Cabinet has been once more reshuffled, this doesn’t come as a shock to many Cameroonians as such ventures have been a common yearly or bi-yearly phenomenon in the past years. This time around the results are certainly raising eyebrows.
The appointments and transfers to note in this year’s shakeup are those of Mr Atanga Nji Paul who is now shifted from the position of Minister in Charge of Special Duties at the Presidency (a post which many Cameroonians mocked as being a post given as consolation price for they believed he was a ‘Minister without portfolio’) to Minister of Teritorial Administration. It should be noted that Mr Atanga Nji Paul recently became very infamous among his English Speaking Kin for having alleged on National TV that there was no Anglophone Problem; a statement which was met with lots of criticism and hate consequently giving the Anglophone Problem a different twist.

Also worthy of note is the appointment of Mrs Pauline Nalova Lyonga Egbe as Minister of Secondary Education she is also very highly unappreciated in the English Section of the Country given her somewhat unconventional actions within the University of Buea as Vice Chancellor which probably led to her being transferred to La Quintini Hospital in Douala as Board Chair. This year’s cabinet shake sees approximately the same names moving around and merely changing postures rather than new faces making their entrance into the top managerial positions of the country. Below is the full list of appointments and transfers;

Nalova Lyonga: Minister of Secondary Education

1Minister of Territorial Administration : Atanga Nji Paul

  Minister of Decentralisaation and Development: Elang Obam George

3Minister of Water and Energy: Eloundou Essomba Gaston

      The questions that seem to be on every Cameroonian lip are: Did this retouching meet the   expectations of Cameroonians? Are the youths properly represented given that they are the leaders   of  tomorrow? And of course the whereabouts of President PAUL BIYA and Government Spokesperson ISSA TCHIRUMA.
