Cameroonian people in their determined move towards emergence”
The station manager was
among over thirty others who were awarded medals for their valuable services to
the nation.

difficult terrain. And for the State to recognize [our sustained efforts],
calls for celebration”

CRTV in 1996, has served at the state broadcaster’s Yaounde FM 94, served as Chief

before being appointed as CRTV Buea Station Manager in June 2017, in the heat of
the Anglophone crisis.
Mr. kange is credited
for launching new radio programs such as ISSUES (an interactive slot) and
participating in some journalistically to ensure the desired goals are
achieved.
He has appealed to
journalists both of the private and public to be exemplary in the discharge of
their professional duties, especially with the ongoing Anglophone crisis.
“We are living a crisis
which is not of our making, and as media people we need to educate the public
on the dangers of war and the merits of
living in peace”, he observed.
