Batoufam, in western Cameroon, has for years called for an agricultural technical secondary school that it has never obtained from the CPDM-led government, despite its electoral loyalty. The locality has never had either a mayor or an MP and hopes other political parties will offer what it is seeking.

Batoufam is calling for the creation of an agricultural technical secondary school as the Cameroonian local elections are scheduled for 7 February 2027, reports Actu Cameroun. The locality, described as a major vegetable and cola production area, wants an institution whose impact would extend in particular to Bandrefam, Bangang Fokam and Bangang Fondji.

The project could draw on the agricultural experimental areas available in these localities and as far as the left bank of the Noun, according to Actu Cameroun. The media also reports that residents are questioning the choice of future elected officials capable of defending their interests in the local elections on 7 February 2027.
