The Government Delegate to the  Limbe City Council(LCC), Andrew Motanga Munjimba, last September 6,donated modern furniture- reportedly  worth over Fcfa 10 million, to the CRTV Buea  to motivate staff improve on their performance.

Southwest Governor Bernard Okalia Bilai, chaired the donation ceremony at CRTV premises.

The donations included five office tables and 14 executive chairs and 16 visitors’ chairs. The modern furniture will now replace the “old-fashioned tables and chairs that make workers sigh looking at them”, a journalist at CRTV Buea said

Receiving the gifts, an elated kange Williams Wasaloko,manager of CRTV Buea  said the donation was the fruit of a partnership between the Limbe City Council and CRTV  Southwest Regional Station .

Kange, while expressing his gratitude to the donor, recalled how CRTV had elaborately covered FENAC 2018 organised by Limbe City Council to the satisfaction of all and sundry.

 He gave assurance that the new furniture would cause staff improve functionally- in informing, educating and entertaining the public within the ambits of the law.

"If you have a comfortable chair to seat down, you are forced to stay on,” the Station Manager remarked.

For his part, the Limbe City Government Delegate said the donation was significant and was eloquent proof of the win-win partnership between the two institutions. He thanked CRTV for partnering with his council, all in a bid to enhance development.

”The commitments with which our Limbe Festival of Arts and Culture  was covered by the CRTV stations in Buea  and at the national level remains fresh in our minds  and we are deeply  appreciative  of those gestures”, the Government Delegate reportedly said.

 He disclosed that the donation was a request from CRTV Buea, but which coincidentally was in order, because it falls in line with the corporate social responsibility of the City Council.

The   Governor appreciated the cooperation between the two institutions, urging other stakeholders to emulate their example and do same, especially with other media organs, which contribute a lot in the development of society.

Reacting to the donation, an official of CRTV Buea who is one of the furniture recipients said, “Before now we had tables and chairs but they were not presentable; we did not also have enough office equipment.

“The new equipment is a motivation; it is a call for us to work harder; they make our offices respectable and presentable”
