Cameroon launches the construction of its first 14 automatic toll booths
(Business in Cameroon) - Today December 10, 2020, Emmanuel Nganou Djoumessi (Cameroonian Minister of Public Works) is presiding over the launch of the project aimed at building 14 automatic toll booths in Cameroon. The foundation stone laying ceremony is taking place in Mbankomo, home to one of the largest toll stations in the country.
The contract for the implementation of the project was officially awarded to the Razel BEC-Egis Projects consortium (after a long procedure that lasted three years), according to a press release signed on April 24, 2019, by Prime Minister Joseph Dion Nguté. The consortium outranked Vinci and South African company Groupe Five that fiercely disputed the awarding of that contract to the consortium led by Razel.
