Grand Councilor, main organizer
In giving the reasons for organizing a banquet for the Bamenda I council mothers, Grand Councilor Nfondoh Pius Kisang recounted how after his mother died in 2009, since then he has been fed by other mothers “I have worked with women in my office, I have watched what the women of Bamenda I have done. Women have become so courageous that they are working in the Bamenda I council 18  of them and have gone for about 3 months without a salary and when I watch this women matched at the grandstand and there was an explosion, the women still matched behind the governor, it done on me that my mother stood for me alone. If I see women act the way they have been doing, they needed my encouragement and the main reason why I stood up to celebrate all the women for standing up as councilors, for matching in the name of the Head of State, for respecting the institutions of the republic and for showing love to their own descendants.” said the Grand councilor.

The first deputy Mayor of the Bamenda I council Ndumu Anna appreciated the efforts of the City Mayor Achobong Paul, Bamenda I Mayor Mbigha Felix and other men of the council have done to honour them in a special way. “They have been brought up and given life by mothers and for them to have taken this decision to honour mothers on a day like this, it is something that other men should emulate for mothers are authors of humanity.”
Being the majority of workers at the council, the women have pledged to continuously work in collaboration with the men to see that the Bamenda I council fosters.


The Bamenda I council Mayor Mbigha Felix on his part encouraged the women of his council to continue showing and sharing the love for the development of the municipality “The women have been giving me a big booster for the work in the council at all levels. I am proud to say on the international women’s day 2020, Bamenda I was the lone council well represented and despite the Covid-19, we decided to extend love to the mothers.” 
The women of the Bamenda I council have thus accepted the challenge to see into that the upcoming Father’s Day is well celebrated for the men of the Bamenda I council.
