EXIMBANK OF CHINA LOANS 415.82 BILLION FOR PHASE II OF KRIBI SEA PORT PROJECT

Louis Paul Motaze, Minister of Economy (Minepat), signed with Eximbank China, on 4April in Yaoundé, a concessional loan agreement (FCfa 89.4 billion) and a preferential buyer credit agreement (FCfa 326.42 billion) for phase II of the construction project of the deep water port of Kribi. Which brings it to a total of FCfa 415.82 billion with an interest rate of 2%. And the repayment term is 20 years, with a grace period of 7 years.

The different components of this second phase are the extension of the dyke by 675 metres (m), the reconfiguration of the access channel, the construction of a container terminal with a 700m-long dock to double the current capacities and provide twice more handling equipment than in phase I, to increase productivity. “Phase II thus appeared as crucial and above all, its completion before 2020 became a key point for the additional demand in traffic to meet a substantial offer in operational structures”, declared Louis Paul Motaze.

Still according to Minister of Economy, the contribution of the Chinese partner, representing 85% of the global cost of the project, will be added to the remainder evaluated at FCfa 68.5 billion, corresponding to 15% of the total cost of said project and paid for by the container terminal concessionaire (the Bolloré-CHEC-CMA CGM consortium) in the framework of the partnership contract.

Le Général Pierre Semengue dit non à un Sous-préfet et réussit

 

Général Pierre Semengue

En début de soirée d’hier dimanche 12 mars 2017 au stade militaire de Yaoundé, le Sous-préfet de l’arrondissement de Yaoundé 3e a tenté en vain de faire reporter le match Tonnerre kalara club (Tkc) de Yaoundé contre Botafogo de Douala pour «menace de trouble à l’ordre public».

Stade Militaire de Yaounde

Le match de la 3^e journée du championnat national Ligue 2 de football opposant Tonnerre Kalara club de Yaoundé à Botafogo de Douala, initialement programmé pour commencer à 14h30 au stade militaire de Yaoundé, a finalement démarré aux environs de 17h. Le coup d’envoi a accusé un grand retard de près de 2h30mn à cause d’un affrontement verbal entre un groupe de personnes qui avaient à leur tête le général Pierre Semengue le président de la Ligue de football professionnel du Cameroun (Lfpc) et un autre groupe de personnes dirigé par Emile Onambele ZIbi, le leader d’une des deux factions qui se disputent la gestion du Tonnerre Kalara club de Yaoundé (TKC). Malgré un impressionnant dispositif policier et gendarme déployé après des menaces de perturbation du match, Emile Onambele ZIbi et ses partisans se sont retrouvés à l’intérieur du stade pour empêcher le déroulement de la rencontre.

Gabriele Aboudi Onguene - CONTRAT DE DEUX ANS AVEC LE CLUB CSK MOSCOU DE RUSSIE

Gabrielle Aboudi Onguene, meilleure joueuse de la CAN 2016

Gabriele Aboudi Onguene surnommée «la flèche» vient de signer un contrat de deux ans avec le club Csk Moscou de Russie. Certes le montant de son transfert n’a pas été révélé. Mais on sait que les performances de la Lionne indomptable étaient fort appréciées dans son ancien club Wfc Rossiyanka. Elles ont contribué à ce que son club soit quintuple champion de Russie. «Aboudi a permis à celui-ci de décrocher le titre de champion de cette saison à trois journées de la clôture de ce championnat russe. Elle a effectué le doublé du jour face à Zvezda Perm», précise le quotidien Mutations dans son édition du 6 mars 2019.
Il faut préciser qu’avant que le contrat d’Aboudi Onguene aujourd’hui racheté le soit, il a été revu à deux ans du fait des performances de la Lionne. Gislaine Bebom la team manager de Louves Minproff après la signature du nouveau contrat a déclaré «il y a une plus-value en terme d’avantages. Je pense qu’elle a besoin de ce nouveau challenge pour marquer les esprits». En rappel Aboudi Onguene comme elle le dit elle-même, elle fait partie de ces joueuses dont les débuts sont loin d’avoir été faciles. Originaire de la Lékié dans la Région du Centre, Aboudi a mentionné sur le site internet de la Fifa «je jouais au football avec les garçons du quartier, quand un monsieur feu Ibrahim m’a repéré pour la première fois dans un club de filles».

Tyre stocks fall on rise in natural rubber prices

Reacting negatively to the developments around natural rubber prices, major tyre stocks on Friday fell in the range of 1-4 percent.

Investors turned bearish on such stocks as they anticipated profitability to take a hit on the back of rising cost of natural rubber, a key component in tyre makers’ input cost. Natural rubber constitutes 40 percent of the total cost of the tyre.

The commodity’s price rose to a two-and-a-half-year high on January 12 due to supply constraints and tracking gains in overseas markets. There has been a disruption in supply from Thailand, the top producer of the commodity, on the back of flooding in a region.
