Chief Dr Joseph Dion, the Prime Minister and head of the government of the Republic of Cameroon, Chief Dr Joseph Dion Ngute has offered a 3 Million FCFA envelope to 2023 Southwest Regional League champions, Isle of Hope Sports Academy (ISOHSA) of Limbe during a courtesy visit and meeting with the staff of the club on Tuesday.
Representing the PM at the event which started at 8 at the Hotel Grand President, the Director of Cabinet at the PMs office, Mr. Balungeli Confiance Ebune- appreciated the players efforts so far, while charging them to do more to put the image of the Southwest Region on the News for the right reasons.
“In recent years, people only hear about the Southwest Region when there are discussions about unwanted crises in our country. But through your talent the image of the region is on the spotlight for the right reasons. Keep the flag of the region flying and developing into Cameroonians willing to give their all to enhance nation building,” the statesman stated while delivering the message from the Prime Minister.
Skipper Ashu Brice, who has scored twice and provided an assist in the running to the semi-final appreciated the gesture from the head of government and thank his director for visiting the team, while calling on government ministers to attend games to bring an end to the feeling of abandonment which the players drawn from eight regions of the country share so far.
“This offer from our father will really encourage us. Like the vice president said, at times during this tournament we felt like orphans. However, having the Prime Minister in our midst pushes us to do more,” Ashu stated.
Legendary CRTV staff man, Albert Njie Mbonde who accompanied the Prime Minister’s representative during the event also took time to remind the players of the need to dedicate themselves and achieve promotion to Elite 2 which will increase their chances of using the modern infrastructures president Paul Biya has offered the Southwest Region.
