Present at press conference was the Deputy Mayor of the Yaounde IV Council, Virginie Ngah. She said,

Our council area habours the highest number of IDPs of the Anglophone crisis in Yaounde, the end of year period is usually a loose period for students who are often left on their own and exposed to hard drugs and other societal ills. The coming of this festival is good news to the council as it will not only occupy the youths of Yaounde IV, but will give them an opportunity to sell their talents to the rest of the world.

Anti covid-19 barrier measures have also been put in place by the organizers of the festival at the esplanade of the Yaounde IV Council, host of the event.

They shall also be special screening and vaccination campaigns through out the event.
