Visit of APN's Top Management in GAROUA

A delegation of directors and staff of the National Ports Authority, led by its General Manager, Dr Louis EBOUPEKE, carried out a five-day working visit to the river port of Garoua. Tuesday, the 25th of July 2023 was the first and certainly the most tedious of the five days allotted for this mission. The contact tour began with a meeting at 9 a.m. in the town hall, packed with the presence of the city’s authorities and resource persons. The welcome address from the Mayor of Garoua was followed by a speech by Dr. Louis EBOUPEKE, APN’s General Manager. In his keynote address, the General Manager explained the reasons for the presence of the large team accompanying him. A working session consisting mainly of exchanges followed on after the General Manager's remarks. The visit to the river port of Garoua was the climax of the day, as APN Top Management got a first-hand feel for the realities of the port.
