00:00Make sure, you know.
00:01When releasing a song on album, what is the message?
00:06My message is the message of everyday life.
00:10We live in everyday life.
00:12And we need a lot more advice.
00:20CRTV. The heart of the nation.
00:30Today, Monday, July 15th.
00:592024.
01:01The Central African Banking Commission,
01:03Quebec, has asked Cameroon's Deposits and Consignment Fund
01:08to halt its money recovery assignment
01:10until a community framework
01:12to regulate these transactions is put into place.
01:16The thought of economists in this newscast.
01:19Universities and higher institutions of learning
01:22in Cameroon are redesigning their programs
01:25to train student entrepreneurs
01:27and graduate youngsters fit to self-employ
01:30and create jobs for others.
01:34Plus, the television newsroom starts a series
01:38on how holidaymakers are making the season count
01:41in the villages and other rural areas.
01:45Those are our top stories.
01:47I am Benin Bumagana.
01:49This is The 730 News.
01:54A document from the Central African Banking Commission,
01:57Quebec, is asking Cameroon's Deposits and Consignment Fund
02:01to put its money recovery activities on hold
02:04until a community framework is put in place
02:07to regulate such transactions.
02:09Economists have argued that the consignment fund
02:11is operating within the ambit of the law.
02:14So there is need for a climate
02:17where trust and transparency can prevail.
02:20Other opinions, however, hold that credit institutions
02:23are rather pushing the lobbying button to avoid doing what
02:26they fear will create a gulping hole in the coffers.
02:30Clarice Areta can report.
02:34On the one hand, an entity trying to recover funds
02:37lying idly about, for some.
02:39And on the other, some structures yet to comply
02:42with a prime ministerial decree.
02:44The ping-pong between the Deposits and Consignment Fund
02:47and banks has pushed the Central African Banking Commission
02:50into action.
02:52CDEC is within the law.
02:55What Quebec needs are guarantees before and after the recovery,
02:58like the nature and specifics of each asset.
03:01The different deposits cannot be handled in the same manner
03:04such as judicial consignments and dormant accounts.
03:09Financial stability in credit institutions
03:12is an argument put forward
03:13as a reason for the regulator to step in.
03:16Quebec considers that, first of all,
03:18we can have what we call the nature of this kind of assets.
03:23If you transfer the money to CDEC,
03:27and if somebody comes and asks you his money,
03:32who will respond?
03:34That kind of things, I think, Quebec wants to see very well.
03:39Quebec cannot close CDEC.
03:41Sources from the Deposits and Consignment Fund
03:44point to the fact that the institution has been operating
03:47within the confines of the law.
03:49Furthermore, given that there are no traditional banking services to talk of,
03:53the regulator cannot hinder its activities, they insist,
03:57even though their role as watchdog is non-negligible.
04:00Those financial institutions and banks might have raised the issue
04:04like the lack of clarity in the funds management
04:07and then, secondly, the instability
04:10that may create to their liquidity position.
04:13The Deposits and Consignment Fund should educate and elaborate
04:18the procedure for the banks to reclaim their funds
04:21if their customers come to ask for them.
04:24Banks and other entities were given up to May 31, 2024
04:28to transfer unclaimed funds to the Deposits and Consignment Fund.
04:32Not all have adhered.
04:33With the Central African Banking Commission now involved,
04:37financial spheres are waiting to see what happens next
04:40to give both sides what they need
04:43to play their respective roles in the economy.
04:47Bayak Governor Yvonne Sanabangi has paid a cutsy visit
04:50to staff of the national agency,
04:53exhorting them to be respectful to hierarchy, impartial and integral.
04:58During this visit, Yvonne Sanabangi from Central African Republic
05:01also thanked President Paul Biafra for the recognition and confidence bestowed on him.
05:06Details of that visit will be through his phone.
05:10Appointed since February 2024, Yvonne Sanabangi, Bayak's governor,
05:16started his working visit at Bayak's national offices in Bangui,
05:20then to other countries,
05:22and now the national representation of Bayak in Cameroon.
05:26A visit during which he exchanged with sitting staff
05:29and regional delegates of Bayak via videoconference on their concerns
05:34and together they have reflected on how to improve on their working condition.
05:39President Paul Bia was acknowledged for the mark of recognition and confidence
05:44shown the Central African Republic through the election of a Central African governor
05:49at the helm of the banking institution,
05:51while taking the commitment to uphold the values of Bayak,
05:55which are integrity, respect and impartiality.
05:59Sanabangi also brainstormed with national officials
06:03on what can be done to redress the structural challenges
06:07faced by Bayak and the Semak sub-region in general.
06:11As a team, Sanabangi noted that
06:14they can boost the socio-economic development of Cameroon
06:17and meet Bayak's objectives in the sub-region.
06:22The African Centre for Economic Monitoring and Intelligence, CAVI,
06:26and the Advanced School of Mass Communication, ASMAC,
06:29are hosting a two-week workshop titled
06:31The Summer University's Information at the Heart of Competitiveness
06:35for Every Actor of Communication and the Entire Public.
06:39The first session of workshops started today
06:41on how the public can make use of their cell phones
06:44in gathering information in the domain of economy.
06:47The first part of the workshop took place at the Amphitheatre Hewebouge in ASMAC.
06:52Florence Gombana Nyongo reports.
06:56Young start operas, investors from far and wide,
06:59will be showcasing their skills,
07:01gained techniques from one another in the days ahead.
07:05This will be through an open platform to provide strategies for economic emergence
07:10and improve the framework for exchange between investors in the country.
07:15Military war and economic competition are similar.
07:20We take what we use in the military field, modify and apply it in business.
07:25In order to give a facelift in the Cameroonian market,
07:29the Summer Universities of the African Centre
07:32for Monitoring and Economic Intelligence in partnership with
07:36private universities and other partners
07:38intend to inject a dose of innovative techniques
07:41into the creative minds of young investors.
07:44Today we are making mobile games with African targets
07:47and we are doing this first social parody game
07:50where we can simulate our life as African.
07:53For this first phase, some participants were awarded certificates
07:57and the program continues in other institutions till August 2nd in Yawundi.
08:03Children in the rural areas are using the long break
08:06to help their parents raise funds for back to school this coming September.
08:11Others are engaged in farming, hunting or hawking on the highway
08:15and others yet are learning the different aspects of their culture.
08:18In our series, Holiday in the Villages,
08:21Sinche Sabtala today takes us to Dunia in the Leke Division of the Central Region
08:26where 11-year-old Rezo has been practicing the art of fishing.
08:30Here is her report.
08:34It is a slow-paced life at Dunia,
08:37some 100 kilometres away from the vibrant city, Yawundi.
08:41For children in the countryside,
08:43the holiday is a time to hawk on the highway,
08:45to travellers make some money
08:47or indulge in the little pleasures like these kids
08:51playing with planes made with leaves.
08:54Bored with these games is Rezo.
08:57Barely one metre five, the 11-year-old heads out
09:01with a stick much longer than him,
09:04fashioned into a fishing rod with plans of fishing.
09:08Accompanied by friends to one of the village creeks,
09:12the goal this morning is to catch as many catfish as possible
09:17and to achieve that, he came prepared with the perfect bait.
09:21The catfish, when you throw this thing, you wait two minutes
09:27and you see how this thing, you go and be entering the water,
09:32you move it, you see fish on it.
09:36Taught by his older brother,
09:38the young angler is hoping to sell his catch to buyers
09:42so as to help his mother prepare for back to school.
09:45I can sell all my family will eat.
09:49Today, his hook caught a frog.
09:51Instead, Trezor isn't discouraged.
09:54Unsure he may be of the amphibian's faith,
09:57he is, however, certain that fish will be served home for dinner.
10:04Trezor shouldn't be discouraged in this interest of Duala.
10:07And if you're on holiday, you want to visit Duala,
10:09make sure you get to the river Vuri,
10:11one of Cameroon's most popular tourist destinations
10:14and a significant cultural and economic asset for the country.
10:18This iconic site is a testament to the rich heritage
10:21and economic dynamism of the region,
10:23showcasing a myriad of cultural and economic activities.
10:27Join us as we explore the diverse attractions the Vuri River offers,
10:31from its deep-rooted traditions to thriving economic ventures.
10:35It supports in this report by further.
10:40The Vuri River, stretching 160 kilometers,
10:44is a significant waterway that breathes life
10:47into the bustling city of Duala.
10:50This mighty river is not only a natural landmark,
10:53but also a vital artery connecting various parts of the city.
10:58The iconic Vuri Bridge, which links Bonaberi to Duala,
11:02stands as a testament to the river's importance
11:05in facilitating commerce and daily commutes.
11:09Each year in December,
11:11the banks of the Vuri River come alive
11:14with vibrant celebrations during Dongondo Festival,
11:22a cultural event that draws hundreds of people to its shores.
11:26This water festival, deeply rooted in tradition,
11:29features colorful carnival parades,
11:32thrilling kennel races, and various water-related activities
11:36showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the littoral region.
11:41Beyond its cultural significance,
11:44the river plays a crucial role in the local economy.
11:51One of the notable activities on the river is sand extraction,
11:55which provides essential materials for construction and other industries.
12:00The process of fluvial sand extraction is a common sight along the river,
12:05contributing to the development and infrastructure of Duala.
12:10There are many risks. We are stung by catfish.
12:14It is important to avoid the wind and load the kennels moderately
12:18to prevent them from capsizing.
12:21As we delve deeper into the Vuri River,
12:24we witness not just a body of water,
12:27but a lifeline that supports the city's economy, culture, and daily life.
12:33The serene views and bustling activities around the river
12:37highlights its multifaceted role in shaping Duala's identity.
12:45Universities in Cameroon have been redesigning their courses
12:48to equip students with entrepreneurial skills
12:51so that upon graduation they can be self-employed and create wealth.
12:55The universities are implementing the law of July 25, 2023,
13:00which compels higher institutions of learning
13:03to prepare students and entrepreneurs for self-employment and wealth creation.
13:07Beatrice Losamba looks at how this law has brought change in universities in Cameroon.
13:26The testimony of a university graduate
13:29who has to grapple with realities far from what she dreamt
13:32while pursuing her bachelor's degree program in Modern Letters.
13:40Their stories will be told differently with the new policy for higher education
13:45which pushes for universities to be places where an entrepreneurial spirit is nurtured.
14:02More than 90% of the job market of Cameroon is an informal market
14:09with low productivity and low production.
14:13The whole truth of the story is the 21st century is rapidly changing.
14:18Digital technology is taking center stage
14:21and the ability to create and innovate has never been more important.
14:26Government is up with ideas to help young people at university levels
14:31navigate through the ever-changing environment.
14:48Within the context of this new policy, the government encourages informed entrepreneurship
14:52where every resourceful person's output equals knowledge acquired in school.
14:58So to further uphold the concept of university and companies in state universities
15:03laboratories and other incubators have already gone operational
15:07with students exercising their entrepreneurial skills
15:10and creating marketable solutions for companies.
15:13In the universities of Yaoundé too and Bamenda,
15:17several offers have been reformulated to meet the entrepreneurial needs of the students.
15:22Here is her report.
15:25The goal is for the university to go beyond theory and give training to students
15:31meeting the professional needs of enterprises and in the meantime generate income.
15:36The University of Yaoundé Toswa has in this light set up laboratories
15:40where students will soon be able to provide real-time solutions to enterprises
15:45like Sode Koton and the Douala Port Authority.
15:48We have launched activities in our laboratory
15:53and we have at hand two major enterprises, the Sode Koton and the Douala Port Authority.
15:58A convention will soon be signed with these entities
16:01for smooth collaboration of the laboratory and the enterprises.
16:07At the University of Bamenda, the results are already visible.
16:11We talk here of Uber Ventures and Uber Business Services
16:15which is the investment arm of the University of Bamenda.
16:18This is a vehicle to advance entrepreneurship
16:21and accelerate scientific innovation in the northwest region.
16:25The concept of universities and companies instituted by government
16:29justifies the creation of some four new professional schools
16:33within the University of Yaoundé Toswa.
16:36We have created four new advanced schools oriented to professional training
16:41which will give business training and solutions
16:44that will address the actual challenges of the enterprises.
16:48Professionalizing the higher education sector
16:51according to the university and company's concept
16:54is also boosting potentials for professional self-reliance
16:58and having a taste of work reality
17:00so as to level up with solution-seeking ventures.
17:05So in the same light,
17:07students of some faculties and schools of the University of Ebolva
17:11are already developing mind-blowing and innovative startups
17:15a few years into the training.
17:17It is expected that with continuous work and support,
17:20the final work from these students
17:22will revolutionize economic and social life in the country.
17:25Clarence Zazé now presents some of these inventions.
17:29Several groups of students at the Higher Institute of Agriculture, Forestry,
17:33Water and Environment of the University of Ebolva
17:36are working on innovative projects on clean energies.
17:40We have certain youths striving in the transformation of plastic waste
17:45to produce pavement bricks.
17:47We have others in environmental science
17:49who are producing bio-foils from waste.
17:54Others are working on the biotechnological transformation
17:57of cassava into flour as a substitute for wheat flour.
18:01This is to contribute to the import substitution policy
18:04of the government of Cameroon.
18:06Over the Faculty of Science,
18:08students have been thinking their brains out of the box
18:11to be engineers of solutions to farmers
18:13like maximizing plant density,
18:15providing optimal nutrient solutions,
18:17and monitoring via artificial intelligence
18:20and in designing agro-online projects.
18:25The challenge awaiting youths today is that of employment.
18:28Our training is tailored towards rendering youths
18:30to be useful to the society or create their own enterprises.
18:34The University of Ebola is determined
18:36to molding job creators and not seekers.

19:18a sector that encourages and enhances commercial opportunities.
19:22The innovation of the third edition is activity,
19:26artistic, cultural, and sport education.
19:30The Summer Vibes Festival is an initiative
19:33coming from the youths themselves.
19:35They say it is their way of showcasing their commitment
19:39towards the promotion and preservation
19:41of the country's artistic and cultural values,
19:44but most importantly, an occasion to show their useful participation
19:48in the local development of the country.

27:37but also gave a hand in the development of the country.
27:40Ernest Roland Ela Evina transformed the agro-industrial sector
