Pupils and students studying in Mfou, in the Méfou-et-Afamba Division of the Center Region, have renewed their commitment to being exemplary members of society.
This commitment was made on February 11 during celebrations marking the 58th edition of National Youth Day in Cameroon. The theme for the 2024 edition was “Youth, Import Substitution, and Economic Patriotism for Cameroon’s Development.”
Speaking to New-Lens after participating in the march pass, students expressed their appreciation for President Paul Biya’s speech and pledged to work hard to achieve their goals.
“I am so happy to have taken part in this march pass!” a pupil said.
Nadia Nsiri, a student in one of the secondary schools in the area, said, “As you can see, we are happy to participate in the march pass. I believe that we will continue to be diligent students and work hard in our studies. That is the only way to make our parents happy.”
While some students were hesitant to speak, many acknowledged that they had listened to President Paul Biya’s speech and recognized the importance of staying away from deviant behaviors.
