The Prime Minister, Chief Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute, in an order signed by his Secretary General, Fouda Séraphin Magloire, addressed to the Minister of Sports and Physical Education, has instructed the formal transfer of management of Cameroon’s fitness and sports complexes “Parcours Vita” to the local municipal councils.
In the correspondence dated June 10, 2026, the Star Building Scribe urged Prof. Narcisse Mouelle Kombi to immediately engage the mayors of the five councils hosting these different sports infrastructures in the management of the facilities.
The move is part of the government’s effort to ensure the decentralization of sports and physical education facilities. The Head of Government’s order is relative to the framework established by Ministerial Order number 001/A/MINSEP of April 9, 2012, which outlines the technical conditions and responsibilities for transferring state powers to local councils.
The Minister of Sports and Physical Education is expected to play the role of supervisory organ, with the overseeing, monitoring, and evaluating of how the city councils exercise their new responsibilities.
The Sports and Physical Education boss will submit a report on the final transition of the facilities to the councils.
Drawing over thousands of citizens on ordinary days and weekends for exercise, the multisports facilities serve as a venue for recreation, community wellbeing, and a place for business.
