City Council works to eliminate dust and mud in metropolitan Bamenda.

The commitment to make Bamenda, tomorrow's dream city is on course with council authorities turning working hard to eliminate all that gives the town an ugly look. Thus, an operation has begun to keep Bamenda a clean. Visitors now discover a city without containers since January, 16, 2010 in the conviction that the city cannot develop with containers. There is a new lease of life on the streets of metropolitan Bamenda since the Government Delegate, Vincent Ndumu Nji ordered all containers off. Prior to the decision, Bamenda has become the no go area for containers following a commitment by the Government Delegate to steadily transform the town from a " Container City" to a greener and more airy modern city.

Away from the urban disorder, gradually being checked in Bamenda, commercial motorcycle riders are beginning to gain awareness. They now respect rules governing the sector.

In the same vein, inter urban transport agencies planted within the city centre have a few weeks to relocate to the peripheries. The city council is also looking up to support from hierarchy to ensure that the streets of Bamenda are dirt-free and environmentally friendly.

In effect, " No dust, no mud" is a serious option by the city council authorities who have stated preparedness to ensure that "keep Bamenda clean campaigns" go beyond slogans to changing mentalities and attitudes of the inhabitants. The city council headed by Vincent Ndumu Nji, also wants to replace the containers, shacks, huts and the old and dilapidated houses in the city with modern structures that reflect tomorrow's city. It is against this backdrop that the city council is currently finalizing a master plan for Bamenda.

A release on January 25, 2010 by Governor Abakar Ahamat mobilized inhabitants to demonstrate understanding and good citizenship in the face of new developments in town to ensure the security of urban transportation, the fight against the proliferation of unauthorized bus stations to ensure a steady flow of urban traffic and to set up paid parking spaces. The fight against the spread of containers also intends to encourage the construction of commercial establishments of acceptable standards, the privatization of public taps and the displacement of the population from risky areas to avoid problems during landslide damage.
