The government of Cameroon says prices of petroleum products will remain unchanged despite the fire that ravaged on the production units of the National Oil Refining (SONARA) Company, in Limbe Friday May 31, 2019.

The decision filtered out from a joint press conference between the ministries concerned as well as heads of corporations in Yaounde on June 2.

Fire at the Cameroon oil refinary

Some Cameroonians had raised fears of a possible increase in prices of fuel product such as cooking gas, Petrol and Kerosene, but the Minister of Trade, Luc Magloire Mbarga Antangana try to assuage such fears insisting that prices remain unchanged.

Although the General Manager of the South West based company, Jean-Paul Simo Njonou was quick to attribute the cause of the fire to a technical fault, the minister of communication Rene Emanuel Sadi averred that investigations have been opened to further determine the actual cause of the incident.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute chaired a consultative meeting Sunday June 2, which brought together different stake holders including key ministerial departments, general managers of petroleum companies and major distributors of petroleum products.

The meeting was aimed at examining the cause, damage, consequences on the indegenous population and measures taken for the resumption of work at the production units.

Members also brainstormed on measures taken to forsee continous supply at the site to avoid scarcity.

Also, the Head of Government expressed needs to highten security at the production unit coupled with the socio-political upheavals in the City.

Despite the series of meetings held to restore serenity at the National Oil Refining (SONARA), sources say a more dangerous inferno engulfed the company three days after that of Friday was reportedly quelled by elements of the Fire Fighting Brigade.

Honourable Jean Michel Nintcheu has castigated Cameroon’s Minister of Territorial Administration for saying on France 24 Television Channel that President Paul Biya is ready to hold a dialogue to resolve the Anglophone armed conflict, but not on the form of State.

The Social Democratic Front (SDF) Party chairman for the Littoral region intimated that Minister Paul Atanga Nji grossly disrespected Prime Minister Chief Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute who declared during his peace mission to the two crisis ravaged regions recently that the Head of State was ready to dialogue on any terms except Separation, and not the form of state.

According to the Parliamentarian, Mr. Atanga Nji should resign immediately for such utterances, coupled with the fact that the Territorial Administration boss was “one of the main vectors of the crisis.”

In 2016, Paul Atanga Nji said the President of the Republic had always give preferential treatments to Anglophone Cameroonians, and denied that there was any Anglophone problem.

Despite rejecting what many consider as poor treatment of the minority English speaking citizens, Mr. Atanga Nji was appointed Territorial Administration Minister and was later mandated to manage FCFA 12.7 Billion put as Humanitarian Aid for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
