Employment Minister paid a visit to the Limbe construction site on Friday, July 26, 2013.

Even the heavy downpour in Limbe, Friday 26 July 2013, could not deter the Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, Zacharie Perevet accompanied by the South Korean Ambassador to Cameroon, Hyuck June Cho, from visiting the construction site of the Advanced Vocational Training Centre jointly sponsored by Cameroon and South Korea.

The Korean Samsung C&T Consortium started Work at the Bonadikombo (Mile 4) construction site a few months ago and would take 14 months to complete the construction of the centre, described by authorities as an architectural jewel for the people of Limbe in particular and the South West in general.
Speaking later in a working session between the visiting delegation and local authorities, Minister Zacharie Perevet reassured the beneficiary population on the determination of government and its partner to continue with the project to the end. The South Korean Ambassador to Cameroon, H.E Hyuck June Cho, underscored the importance of the project stating that vocational training is priority policy in Korea as it is a springboard to industrialisation. The Ambassador called on each and sundry to contribute towards the realisation of the project by 2015, which, he said would mark the start of Cameroon’s industrialization.
The Limbe Advanced Vocational Training Centre, it should be noted, is one of the three such centres to be constructed in Cameroon with the support of the South Korean government. Ambassador Hyuck June Cho noted that the centres which would meet its deadline and standards would produce good quality skilled workers for Cameroon’s emergence.
According to the Project Manager, Engineer Etoke Atabong, the Limbe project covers a surface of 6.1 hectares and would comprise of facilities such as administrative building, training complex, dormitories, staff houses, playground amongst others, to be constructed according to South Korean standards. The construction and equipping of the three vocational training centres in Limbe, Douala and Yaounde, CT gathered, would gulp some US dollars 2 million.
