Circulation within the city of Douala has been a nightmare in the past few months particularly the road network around Ndokoti to Logbaba,Feu rouge Bessengue just to name this few coupled with the rainy season.A situation which gave reason to social critic to criticize the executive body of the city council in launching the rehabilitation of major roads within the city.In the face of the current situation,Work on the Ndokoti – Japoma axis (Ndokoti station) is progressing rapidly. Teams on site have already completed the base course and laid the geotextile, before installing the sand bed that will support the paving stones. In the coming days, the Ndokoti – Total Logbaba section will enter its final phase, ensuring smoother and safer traffic flow for users. The Mayor of Douala, Dr. Roger Mbassa Ndine, is resolutely continuing the implementation of the emergency plan, an initiative aimed at sustainably improving the living environment and bringing back the smiles of the faces of the people .

To that effect, the city mayor Dr Roger Mbassa Ndine granted a press conference Thursday September 4,2025 explaining detaily on the situation at hand “Rainy season because now. We still consider the consequences of climate change and the impacts of smugglers on the daily lives of our populations, when I speak well, because I’m obviously talking first about road infrastructure. I first said that when our functions in March 2020, we still had a diagnosis of the optical network. A lot of age. There was, and also say that we will do with supporting priority projects over 225 km, and at the time we estimated the needs at approximately 15 billion. For some, we don’t have these resources, so we took them, which allowed us to develop a plan for 730 km with a budget of approximately 75 billion.The findings presented to us are for this reference plan. The campaign was approximately 60% complete, i.e., 135 km, so to think about 4 minutes, 10 billion, including 65 billion on our own account. The rest is mostly traffic. There is some support, we were able to work in this area. Unfortunately, as I said earlier, the rain zone, already a last one that began in March, started again very early this year. We were able to retain some of this this year; the network is practically… Hence the need for an emergency plan that, in a way, aims to address the priorities of saving the network’s fluidity at the start of the school year, so that students and parents can go about their business. This is what we have been doing for the past five years despite the severe weather.Innovation in the need of a start. The efforts have begun to force themselves. Everyone here remembers the spectacular event we had in August 2020. Practically everyone who works here can see that, despite everything, we’ve been able to do so ever since. Moreover, we haven’t had one this year, and we’re not expecting anything less than a little proud of the weather conditions, as I said. We’ve tested this kind of thing on foot, so now it’s easy to forget. This progress has already been made, as we carried out the work on site. Construction and rehabilitation first involved paving in many places. We’ve improved the flow here and there, and we’ve been able to move forward, but we fully understand the feelings of the population today.He continued “Which aims to observe all the critical points in the city. The population can see for themselves the improvements that will be made to the tools, he said, and then we have indeed carried out a systematic survey of all the critical points. If necessary, collaborators who can give you information, we have the extent of the damage here and there because that’s the first thing to do. Know where it is? Since it doesn’t work, some people thought it was because we saw someone take a dive in the mud. What happened to the other Peugeot, we intervened. No? It was a plan. We planned it. It happened that he fell 24 hours before in the mud. It’s all over social media, but the next day we started the work. It’s the same, and I think today he has more standing on this reinforcement. The work is already in a way that has fears, so it wasn’t by the reaction to this dive that they made in a pink ball.

That’s because we’ve already started. We’ve planned. So, we have this emergency plan for all the roads, including at the intersection, and any colleague who does it in February, and soon we also have to start distinguishing between intersections and red lights. We’re a bit like my studies of blockages, not that, although I’ve been there. You’re going to see piles of cobblestones afterward because it’s an extremely important road junction, and we’re afraid that the duration of the work planned there won’t have a negative impact. There are traffic jams; we don’t need a successive world of traffic on the entire automobile route. That’s why we’re still hesitating, but we’ll soon be making a definitive decision. The other area of concern, which will be the focus of our discussions, concerns household waste management.The thing is simple. We have strengthened the eyelid. We have implemented a program called the program, which must be called the one that has worked. It says that it means that even in the lowlands we are starting to see fewer piles of garbage. The problem is that the audio is edited, your main actions and unfortunately our partner. The main one who was the company to look for the collection had problems and since the beginning of the year you have been bringing down 35 garbage collection trucks that must go out every day to Douala. That calls if you fly 40. We have despite the fact that we have set up a visit to take advantage of urban to remove as much earthenware as possible, the scale of the experience was such that even Russia could not prevent the multiplicity of cases of garbage. All this has meant that we have. We have at the same time February the reform the colleague today. Except that as the contract is being completed, it is not necessary to pay for this, as it is necessary to correct two months to make the transition with the new waste collection service plant which will come into place with stronger collaboration from the district municipalities to which the law entrusts. Taking on some responsibilities outside of the municipality of Douala. Second, we launched an international call for tenders in February for the colleague who is currently housekeeping, the support process that is called having finalized, and I believe that soon we will have a new configuration of the collection system and even of your colleagues today in the city of Douala. It’s not a fruit. There are all these problems that I wanted to address at the end of this day in order to inform the public about the measures taken to deal with the ongoing crises in our city, to also strengthen transparency on exceptional communication because there are a lot of things that we see on social networks. There are things that we mount because there are indeed holes where there are, but there are holes. There is life. There is also the mud and the rain, it’s the girl who brings that, it’s not there. It’s not us. You still need to be informed about what we are currently doing, what we intend to do in the coming months, and to assure people of our ongoing commitments to improving their living conditions.”
