The youths of the Bamenda III municipality especially those of the villages that make up the council area, will be at the center of attraction when the Festival of Heritage, Arts and Culture dubbed FEHACU 2021 commences.
The youths who have so far been intoxicated with the culture of the West, have had the Bamenda III municipal authority Mayor Fonguh Cletus and council executive thinking out of the box to have the youths desist from embracing other cultures of the West but uphold theirs to the greatest of heights.
Mayor Fonguh Cletus Tanwe, speaking to the press.
In a press briefing in prelude to the big cultural event set aside for November 26th to the 28th 2021, made it clear that during the cultural jamboree aspects of culture like music, attire, craft, dance, food and much more will be the center of attraction with intensions to enrich the lives of the people. "Being a prerequisite for stability and development, we hope that this festival will be an avenue to enable interaction between communities and cultures that have found home in our municipality in a manner that will create deeper understanding, accommodation and appreciation for each other." Mayor Fonguh said during his presentation while also stressing that the cultural festival will help strengthen the sense of the identity of the municipality and by that same token, enhance peace, stability and cohesion between all residents of the municipality.
With registration for the first ever FEHACU 2021 open till November 15, 2021, the organizing committee for the festival aims to award best participants as well as support underprivileged persons including persons with disabilities, internally displaced persons who constitute an important part of their work.
The questions posed the Mayor during the press briefing were all thrashed out by the development oriented Mayor to the satisfaction of the men and women of the press in the North West region.
The Pius hope for Mayor Fonguh Cletus and the organizing committee are that forces are joint together to promote and enjoy the rich cultural heritage and as well capitalize on its potential to promote economic development and enhance cohesion amongst all and sundry.
