By Vera Fon
The Ambassador of the United States of America to Cameroon H.E Christopher John Lamora has urged Cameroonians to make use of US government exchange programs to impact their country.
He made the call during the opening ceremony of the second edition of the National Symposium of the United States Exchange Program Alumni that kicked off in Yaounde on Thursday, April 27.
This year’s program session was held under the theme, “Driving Youth Actions for Cameroon’s Economic Development.”
The three-day symposium took place at the Campus of the National Advanced School of Administration and Magistracy.
According to the diplomat, “We have brought together all the people who have done this program to strengthen their network even more and I think it is a good thing for Cameroon’s future economic development”
The US diplomat said he will continue cooperating with Cameron beyond education and the exchange programs.
The representative of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Civic Education saluted the relations existing between Cameroon and the US.
Some participants of the Symposium declared their happiness and what they expect to learn and achieve during and after the symposium.
“I have always had the anxiety to learn a lot from the US Exchange programs and have always wanted to know the opportunities that they offer to Cameroonians. That is why when I learned of this Symposium I decided to attend hoping to benefit from one of the programs.
