The Cameroonian army is strengthening its vehicle fleet with Made in Cameroon. Thursday, the Minister Delegate at the Presidency in charge of Defense Joseph Beti Assomo received 15 transport buses assembled by Sotrabus, the company of businessman Albert Mbafe Konkou.
Import-substitution with military sauce
This order for 100% Cameroonian buses is part of the policy desired by the Head of State Paul Biya to promote local industries to replace imports. The army is thus setting an example by opting for vehicles from Sotrabus assembly lines.
Also owner of the companies Trésor Voyages and Princesse Voyages, Albert Mbafe Konkou strengthens his presence in the automotive sector by landing this lucrative contract with Mindef, strategic for the visibility of his brand.
A locally involved business leader
Furthermore, the chief of the small village Badass located in the Menoua department, this 51-year-old entrepreneur wears many hats. Its activity ranges from transport to the importation of lubricants, including real estate investment, particularly in Douala.
Proof if any were needed that the Cameroonian economic fabric is teeming with talents ready to seize the opportunities of a booming market.
