“We have the problem of infrastructure, you have seen for yourself the poor state of the road between Matazem and Bamenda. You have toured the city and seen how our roads really look like and if it is the case at the main entrance, you can imagine the poor state states of the roads linking the other parts of the region, divisions and sub divisions,”he indicated.
