Tubah Council is turning its attention to speeding up development projects after a mid-year review revealed mixed progress in the implementation of its 2026 action plan.
The assessment session, held in Bambili on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, brought together council officials, administrative authorities, contractors, and partners to evaluate achievements, identify bottlenecks, and define strategies for completing ongoing projects.
With 26 projects valued at about 1.3 billion FCFA planned for the year, the council reported an overall implementation rate of 48 percent. The projects are being financed through a combination of state resources, FEICOM support, HIMO/MINEPAT funding, and council revenue.

Mayor Tanjong Martin Meshongong said the evaluation was an opportunity to measure the council’s performance and address challenges affecting the timely delivery of projects.
Among the areas recording progress are environmental protection, public infrastructure, and community facilities. The council’s tree-planting campaign has reached 80 percent completion, while the Bambili Market shed construction and rehabilitation of the Bambui Palace Museum are nearing completion.
The municipality has also advanced efforts to improve waste management, with the construction of a mini recycling plant in Bambili currently underway. The project, valued at about CFA125 million, is expected to provide a more organized approach to waste disposal and recycling once completed.
However, the review exposed delays in some key interventions, particularly in water supply and other infrastructure projects. Water extension works in Ntehmbang and the protection of the Atunui catchment has recorded limited progress, prompting authorities to issue warnings to contractors.
The council also raised concerns over delayed projects and summoned some contractors through the Senior Divisional Officer for Mezam, Simon Emile Mooh. Officials said companies failing to meet contractual commitments could face sanctions.
Projects financed directly by the council were also assessed, including the completion of a municipal waste management plan, maintenance of council vehicles, and the recruitment of temporary workers to support development activities.
As Tubah enters the second half of the 2026 financial year, the council says closer monitoring and improved coordination with contractors will be key to achieving its development objectives.
Mayor Tanjong Martin called for stronger collaboration among stakeholders and encouraged traditional leaders to continue supporting community initiatives, including preparations for the new school year and the cleaning of public school facilities.
The council says it remains focused on completing ongoing projects while laying the groundwork for its 2027 development program.
