Yoko is a Sub Division of Mbam et Kim Division in the Center Region.
The sub division is said to be larger than the West Region, but apparently enclaved.
It is 198kms from the Divisional Headquarter -NTUI. The road is still under construction since last year. Yoko is about 200Kms from Tibati, the next nearest town to Adamawa Region.
Although the nation is in serious economic quagmire, ranging from unemployment,appalled road network, Health and Social infrastructural crisis,the problems faced by the population of the subdivision is pitiful. They go for months without fiscal stamps. Basic necessities are scares and expensive. The Sub Division have not had enough paper Fiscal stamps since 2020.
The population either go to NTUI a distance of 198 km or to Tibati , covering a distance of about 200 km just to buy a fiscal stamp to put on a document.
The stamp now cost 6.000frs since the road to Ntui is still passable. It goes up base on the state of road. Fiscal stamp is sold everywhere in the country for 1000frs but the case of Yoko is different. In Tibati,is 3.000frs since the road is tarred". Our source narrated.
Poor state of road
Another problem our be source intimated, concerns government workers in the sub division.
Given that there are no financial institutions except Express Union,Workers have to go to Yaounde every month end for their salaries. " If you are transferred to Yoko, atleast FCA 20.000 of your salary, will go for transport fare every month. From Yoko to NTUI is 6000frs, Ntui to Yaounde 1.000frs To and from Yaounde gives a total of CFA14.000, if you are not obstructed by bad road. Taxi fare in Yaoundé , feeding and lodging etc puts the expenditure at more than 30.000frs, if can not come back on the same day".
He narrated.
Yoko he went on, is blessed with timber which is exported to Douala in large quantities, but the state of road is apparentling.
