Appointment Of PM’s Private Secretary: Dion Ngute Upholding Biya’s Spirit Of Unity, Concord, Merit


Isa Adamu, Private Secretary to the Prime Minister 

The President of the Republic, His Excellency Paul Biya, yesterday appointed Isa Adamu Private Secretary to the Prime Minister, Head of Government.

The appointment is contained in presidential decree No. 2022/2023/ 027.

He now occupies the position that had been vacant for about two years. Prior to his appointment, Isa Adamu, 33, served as a charge d’étude in the Prime Minister’s office. He is  thus not a newcomer to the functioning of the office he is going to occupy. 

The appointee takes over from Wanja Walters, appointed to other duties. Many have saluted the appointment of Isa Adamu, a native of Menchum division of the North West region.They are now qualifying the Head of State as a great advocate of national unity, promoter of merit, competence, excellence, national integration and a spirit of living together.

This is the first time a Private Secretary is appointed to a Prime Minister who is not from his village, subdivision, division as well as region of origin upon the recommendation of the Prime Minister, Head of Government.

This is also where  Chief Dr Joseph Dion Ngute as Prime Minister is being hailed for putting county first. The appointment of Isa Adamu, it is also being said, has  set a precedence for all sectors: both public and private, to emulate throughout the country. 

Before yesterday,  it has been a common practice for such appointments to be based on ethnicity, family and friendship ties, mutual as well as consensual relationships among other beneficiary considerations.

 This decision to step out of this practice by President Paul Biya and the current Prime Minister, is a clear indication that things would never be the same again in Cameroon as the age-old unorthodox implementation of nepotism is being eroded.
