THE RISING STAR OF MANYU: THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF LORD MAYOR NTUFAM AYAMBA JACQUES ITA

By The Afrisocrat News Desk


Eyumojock subdivision in Manyu Division, South West Region of Cameroon, has long been known as a strategic border municipality, yet also one deeply affected by the Anglophone crisis. In the midst of turbulence and despair, one young leader has emerged as a symbol of peace, progress, and people-centered governance: Lord Mayor Ntufam Ayamba Jacques Ita

Dynamic, visionary, charitable, and deeply patriotic, the Lord Mayor has proven to be one of the most outstanding leaders not only in Manyu but in Cameroon at large. His record of service speaks volumes and has earned him admiration, support, and prayers from across the nation.


Restoring Peace and Normalcy


When he assumed office, Eyumojock was at the heart of the Anglophone crisis. Violence, fear, and instability ruled daily life. Through determined peace initiatives, dialogue, and reconciliation, Mayor Ayamba restored calm. Today, Eyumojock enjoys 99% peace, a remarkable achievement credited largely to his leadership.


Champion of Reconciliation


Among his most extraordinary achievements is his bold campaign to engage Ambazonian refugees. Nearly 1,000 radicalized refugees were convinced, converted, and voluntarily repatriated back to Cameroon under his watch. He personally facilitated their resettlement in Eyumojock, giving them a chance to rebuild their lives at home.


Promoter of Language and Identity


Mayor Ayamba Jacques Ita has championed the Ejagham identity.

Ejagham language has been introduced into the school curriculum of the subdivision.

The Ejagham tribe is now formally recognized in the Cameroon national portal, correcting decades of mistaken identity where Ejaghams were classified as Bayangis.

This cultural renaissance is restoring dignity to his people.


Education Advocate


Each year, he spearheads a Back-to-School Crusade, providing free uniforms, books, bags, and scholarships to children. His mission is simple but powerful: no child of Eyumojock should be left behind.


A Rare Philanthropist


Regarded as the most philanthropic mayor in the history of Eyumojock, Ntufam Ayamba Jacques Ita is often described as a “suicide giver”—someone who sacrifices even his own comfort to help others. His generosity transcends tribe, religion, or politics. Unlike many leaders, he gives quietly, without publicity stunts.


Peacemaker and Mediator


His palace is open 24/7 to the people of Eyumojock. Families, communities, and individuals flock to him with disputes, confident they will find fair resolution. Unity and solidarity are now hallmarks of the subdivision, thanks to his tireless mediation.


Guardian of Culture


A true son of Ejagham land, the Mayor has been the loudest promoter of Ejagham culture and tradition. He organizes festivals, football tournaments, seminars, and lectures—all aimed at preserving and teaching the rich history of his people.


Development Amid Crisis


Even when only two out of 65 communities (Ekok and Eyumojock town) remained functional at the peak of the crisis, Mayor Ayamba pressed on. Against all odds, he acquired road construction equipment—a tipper truck, grader, and loader—and opened up 98% of the subdivision’s roads (over 3,400 km). Farmers now transport goods to markets in Nigeria with ease.


Restoring Light and Energy


After eight years of darkness, solar panels and new power systems have brought electricity to integrated higher centers in Eyumojock under his leadership. This has breathed new life into education and business.


Defender of Workers’ Rights


Council staff under his tenure enjoy better lives. Salaries have been increased dramatically—from as low as 37,000 FCFA to 103,000 FCFA, and from 59,000 FCFA to 141,000 FCFA. Eyumojock Council stands out in Cameroon for having no salary arrears.


Urban Transformation


Eyumojock town and the Ekok border have been transformed into modern, attractive cities. Residents now proudly compare their towns with Ikom across the Nigerian border.


Economic Growth


With peace restored and roads reopened, economic activities have flourished. Farmers sell freely across the border, earning millions and boosting household incomes. Eyumojock has now become a citadel municipality closest to Africa’s biggest economy, Nigeria.


A True Pan-Africanist


Beyond his municipal achievements, Ntufam Ayamba Jacques Ita is a Pan-African to the core. He strongly advocates for the total emancipation of Africa and the restoration of Africa’s true identity through Africanism. He openly rejects all forms of imported religions that demonize African traditional spirituality, insisting that Africans must reconnect with the wisdom, values, and dignity of their ancestral heritage. His leadership is therefore not just local but continental in its vision.


A Visionary for Tomorrow


If Mayor Ntufam Ayamba Jacques Ita has achieved all these during instability, what more could he achieve now that peace has largely returned? The people of Eyumojock describe him as the most loved and celebrated mayor in their history.

He is a rare leader—youthful, humble, dynamic, and development-driven. His vision goes beyond Eyumojock to the whole of Manyu, the South West, Cameroon, and Africa at large.


Conclusion


Lord Mayor Ntufam Ayamba Jacques Ita represents a new generation of African leadership: bold, compassionate, visionary, and people-oriented. He deserves not only the support and encouragement of his people but also the prayers of all Cameroonians who dream of a peaceful, united, and prosperous nation.
