- Some 23 fish farmers from Meme Division, have ended a three-day workshop organised by SOWEDA Livestock and Fisheries Development Project. The workshop that took place recently at the Community Development School hall in Kumba, was coordinated by Mrs Lucy Nkumbe, SOWEDA's Chief of Service for the fisheries sector.

She told Camnews that SOWEDA has assured fish farmers of a brighter future as they will soon benefit from the giant support of her service. She revealed that SOWEDA is presently constructing a multi-million structure to keep a modern fish pond, a poultry farm, a slaughter house and a piggery at Barombi Kang in Kumba.

For three days, the participants were drilled on book-keeping, self-help participatory development, marketing techniques, training to manage cooperatives and Common Initiative Groups (CIGs), entrepreneurial skills and financial management.

After the workshop, some participants lauded SOWEDA Livestock and Fisheries Development Project for organising such a commendable workshop which, they said, was very timely. They also promised to match words with deeds by making sure that the knowledge acquired will be well implimented at the local level.

They promised that their farms will certainly have a face-lift. Mr Ojong James Agbor, South West Provincial Chief of Service of Local Community Development was the main facilitator of the workshop.
