The Meveo Cultural and Development Assembly has on Friday the 29th of January 2021 handed Certificates of Participation to Participants of the MEVCUDA Capacity Building workshop that took place on Friday the 15th of December 2020. The event was held at the Limbe I Council Hall.

Chief Ndiko Fonderson Henry who is the Chairman of MEVCUDA said MEVCUDA is a platform put in place by the Meveo Chiefdom to assemble and help government agencies and Para state corporations to display their opportunities and to reach out to the grass roots and potential beneficiaries within the frame work of their programs, projects and social responsibilities.

 This can be confirmed by the special support program instituted by MINDER since MEVCUDA 2017 where by farmers of Fako Division and to an extent the South West Region have been benefiting from MINADER to boost their production.

Furthermore, he said his congratulations also go to participants of the MEVCUDA   Solidarity Football Encounter.

We are very confident that the participants and spectators of the said encounter would have wished to that the encounter which only involved 4 teams be transformed to at least 12.

It’s our wish that somebody in this gathering can convince someone somewhere to provide 100% sponsorship for a full tournament by the next edition of MEVCUDA 2021.

On her part, the Mayor of Limbe I, Mbwaye Eposi, said agriculture is the backbone of the economy of any given country.  It plays a very critical role in the entire life of the given economy.

 On behalf of the population  of the Limbe I Sub-Division, she sincerely thanked and  appreciate  MEVCUDA  and its  donors for such a wonderful  initiative  gear towards promoting  agriculture  in the Limbe I municipality through  the organizing  of the capacity  workshop and donation of farm equipments to  beneficiary  farmers.

She prayed that the gesture continues to foster development in the town and she urged all the participants of the event to ensure and make good use of the knowledge acquired and the farm equipments because this will help go a long way to alleviate poverty.

The representative of the DO for Limbe I said those  who participated  during the capacity building  workshop were given seeds to be planted and that he wants to believe that very soon fruits will be harvested from those seeds,  meaning they shall come back to develop the Meveo village.

Also to farmers who will be receiving tools and materials, the DO said they are encouraged to use them well.  He concluded calling on other Chiefs to emulate the same steps.

In an interview with the press, the Chairman of MEVCUDA Chief Fonderson made it clear that, what they were doing was to assure their donors that the end users have finally gotten their equipment. 

It is also very important to note that during the Capacity Building workshop which was organized on the 17th of December 2020, the participants gained some knowledge which was substantial enough to merit a certificate of participation. And that is why they want to thank their donors.

He went further to say MEVCUDA is a platform put in place to facilitate government agencies to expose their opportunities.
