The Andek council like other council's in the hinterlands are greatly affected by the ongoing crisis. Despite a tough 2021 for the council, the council authorities fought harder for the betterment of the community by ensuring that the 13 projects initiated were executed to the later being the construction of a zoo technical center, construction of a mixed bridge at Etwii-Bonanyang road, construction of 2 health center blocks at Andek, construction of a meat slap, construction of a community town hall, electrification of Ngie with three phase line and the installation of the DUDUM FM radio amongst others.

With 2022 approaching, the council has set a target of 100% execution rate of several juicy projects thanks to the investment allocation for 2022 of the sum of 525,000,000 CFA devolved to the Andek council as investment credit through projects like the purchase of a 20ton dump truck for the municipality, completion and equipment of the guest house, construction of a bridge to link GS Tinekoh, construction of a well with hand pump for water supply, rehabilitation of 2 bridges along the Bonatin-Bonanyang Andek road, construction of agricultural post, rural electrification of villages, rehabilitation of lower and upper Ebang portable water scheme, construction of Nkon Integrated health center and the support to Bonambufei group for production, processing and marketing of palm oil and kernel amongst the 22 envisaged projects for the Andek council.

All these projects are to be executed with the budget of 1,040,815,000CFA which is both balanced in income and expenditure. The large amount devolved by the State to the Andek council is a true manifestation of the willingness of the State to effectively implement the ongoing decentralization process in Cameroon. Mayor Ubangoh Helly believes that if such a trend continues, the State shall achieve the devolution of 15% prescribed by the law of 2019 on decentralization. "We need to do everything for Andek to regain it's activities else many more ministries might stop investing in Ngie because we want all credit allocations to Andek municipality to be consumed for the benefit of our people. We shall not allocate projects to areas that are still hostile because of the crisis." Helly said

Expressing concerns over the ranking of council's, which to him they were not finding the appropriate manner given that the officials concerned have not been to the field, Mayor Ubangoh Helly stressed that "most of the works ongoing in Ngie have not been documented by the Delegate that published the classification because they too have not been to the site, as a result of security challenges. They should better stop these publications because they are misleading. I strongly questioned the credibility of that ranking."

The Mayor cautioned the elites that instead of criticising for low execution rates in the air, they should rather come on board and encourage the contractors in their various communities so that they can continue to sacrifice in executing the projects.

In the strides for Ngie to regain normal life, Mayor Ubangoh Helly has secured the Safety Net project, plans as well to intensify efforts to improve on social economy by granting loans and grants for startups, intend to organize a grand cultural festival, intend to train farmers on farming techniques while the councilors according to the local authority should be home oriented in order to achieve the goal for 2022.
