Welcoming members, sister credit
union exco members, RECCU-Cam executive and the Divisional Officer for Mezam,
the president of NtamCCUL, Mumandam Valentine Che recounted a brief history of
the union. According to him, NtamCCUL was created some 47 years ago by
reasonable people like Pa Adey, Pa Ngu, Pa Atanga and Pa Jacob etc as a loan
scheme, “the scheme today known as Ntambeng Cooperative Credit Union LTD has
gained its foundation from these people”
NtamCCUL affiliated to the most trust
worthy, reliable and fastest growing networks in the Anglophone region has of
recent “developed in activity, personnel…and infrastructure,” the manager
observed. It nurturing activities and projects aimed at empowering its members
and the youths in general in the domains of information technology, education,
agriculture, construction and business has earned the union the nickname
“BABYSITTERS.”
The president emphasized on the fact
that Ntambeng operates within the framework of a new vision-a vision which is
centered on the people which “seeks to provide a self reliant and economic
stable environment for many Cameroonians.” The products and services of the
union are geared towards poverty alleviation, thereby reducing the gap existing
linking the have-nots and the haves.
NTamCCUl, the president said, has as a new slogan “We Grow With Our
Members.”

The President Of RECCU-Cam
Anye Judith, a woman who has defied
all odds to put sanity in the credit union movement which has been transformed
into an elitist movement by some power hungry and unscrupulous people and who
today is the president of the Renaissance Cooperative Credit Unions in
Cameroon, RECCU-cam told the population that the network is waxing strong and
growing from strength to strength. She said despite all propaganda and
machinations employed by detractors of the network, she was happy to tell the
people that the LORD has done and would still do it for the Network and its
members.
While corroborating the President,
the General Manager of RECCU-CAM, Mr. Sounjo disclosed that the structure was
constructed under the supervision of RECCU-Cam and should serve only as the
Head office of NtamCCUL.
He further was unequivocal by
declaring that those who still think that at this moment in time and in a free
market as we do have today, they can still practice monopoly are living in a
dream world. According to him, competition in the credit union movement can
only benefit its members and so RECCU-Cam has come to stay. RECCU-Cam within
the the one year six months of its existence has grown in leaps and bounds with
an increase in its shares and savings from FCFA 27billion to FCFA 30billion.

interest rate loans at 1.3%, sponsoring and financing of projects, savings and
others, they also presented two new products offered by the union. These

which makes available FCFA100000 each to one hundred recipients yearly as
startup capital for any good projects.

the DO for Bamenda II
The Divisional Officer for Bamenda II
while congratulating the NtamCCUL for the realization of the magnificent
building and a job well done said the structure should be judiciously used and
taken care of. According to him, the construction of such a structure was
indicative that the NtamCCUL is heeding to the clarion call by the Head of
state President Paul Biya for people to be innovative, dynamic and visionary so
that 2035 would not be a mirage. The structure, he said was a public show of
patriotism by the management and the Board of Directors of NtamCCUL. In this
regard, he also called on the people of Mankon to collectively carry out
business ventures that would lead to the development of the village.
Praising and declaring his support
for RECCU-Cam, the DO said with such a litany of achievements which is
indicative of proper management and probity it will take only a fool not to
belong to such an umbrella organization. While describing RECC-Cam as a
“winning” Team, he beckoned on other credit unions that are hesitant to join
the network to do so as better days are ahead.
Apart from the dancing and jubilation
that characterize the inauguration event, the build was blessed by the Rev.
Father of Ntambeng Catholic Mission and the traditional authorities of mankon.
They all asked God not only to preserve the structure, but also the management
and members of NtamCCUL
