Given the unethical and non-mastery of council affairs as exhibited most often by some councilors during council sessions, the mayor called for a positive attitude and civic responsibility   to enable them move forward as “ only a positive attitude and resilience will determine our  survival as a local government”.  Although the council made a tremendous record in collection of over 58 millions in local revenue which is quite outstanding in the region troubled by political instability for over six years, the mayor, exhorted the councilors to be more committed to council activities to enable go above the figure next year. He also encouraged the councilors to always make it as a duty to involved the electorate in the selection of projects to   ensure effective participation of all and sundry.  This would guarantee the sustainability of projects realized for the population, Although a budget of FCFA 868.100.000 was voted for 2023, in income and expenditure, the realization of the budget he insisted  will largely depend on the assiduity of the councilors and response of the population   through tax declaration.  He insisted on diligence, probity and need for the councilors to focus on meaningful development issues.He presented some council  staff notably Mantoh Guylene,Ndamunoh Brenda Sanyang,Safiyatou Abdou, Godwill Akere Akum , Apene Alice, Aghedwe Belus, Fomugwe Ghislian Cho , Ndansi Denis Penn, and Dingha Emmanuel who enrolled in various professional institutions  to improve on their on operational capacity.
