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.
