Fongoh and Partners Real Estate was honored with the “Most Trusted Company of the Decade” award on Saturday, May 30, 2026, in Yaoundé. As Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Fongoh Valentine was also recognized with a top philanthropy prize during the tenth-anniversary celebration of The Voice newspaper.
This award celebrate his multidimensional projects, which have significantly improved living conditions and transformed communities despite persistent regional security challenges.
Founded ten years ago in Buea, Fongoh and Partners Real Estate Solutions specializes in land acquisition and sales, construction, land surveying, and animal husbandry. The company was established primarily to provide sustainable solutions to the myriad challenges surrounding land transactions.
According to management, the firm has achieved significant milestones over its decade of existence, with major operations in localities such as Kumba, Buea, and Batibo.
“In Buea, as in other localities, we have carried out extensive philanthropic projects, including the construction of roads and bridges and the provision of potable water for local communities,” the CEO noted.
With a workforce of approximately 150 employees, the company has also made notable contributions in the Ashong and Moghamo regions, where they have constructed farm-to-market roads and sponsored various community development projects.
Addressing the obstacles faced by the industry, Fongoh noted, “Our primary challenges arise from land transactions, particularly regarding the fraudulent double-selling of plots by malicious individuals. We urge the authorities to implement more effective measures to resolve this issue. Furthermore, while some people mistakenly perceive our initiatives as political, we want to reiterate that we are simply Cameroonians committed to improving the living conditions of our fellow citizens. We ask the public to judge our work based on the impact they see.”
The CEO explained that communities and individuals in need of the company’s services are encouraged to submit formal requests for consideration. While project approval timelines may vary due to the company’s ongoing commitments, they frequently initiate and fund projects directly for communities in need.
Reflecting on the philanthropic award, Fongoh Valentine expressed his gratitude for the milestone, noting that it was rewarding to see their community efforts recognized by the public.
“We are honored by this achievement; it demonstrates that our activities are being monitored and appreciated by the public. It serves as a call for my team and me to work even harder toward greater accomplishments,” he stated.
When asked about the company’s success, he credited their reputation to a clear philosophy: “Our secret is transparency and dialogue in every business transaction. It is rare to hear of any conflicts between our firm and our clients.”
The company’s leadership concluded by reassuring their partners of their unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, professional, and satisfactory services.
