According to the mayor of Bamenda III council, Fonguh Cletus Tanui, the council is concerned about the acute water shortage in the city and shall redouble her efforts to curb the situation.

“We are going to to construct bigger storage facilities at the base here and elsewhere In the city especially in place of high altitude because the only challenge we may face is the problem of storage,” he explained.
