Cameroon road construction project

The plan for a major new road project has been agreed in Cameroon. The 357km Ring Road project will connect Cameroon with neighbouring Nigeria. Part of the funding for the work is being provided in the shape of a loan worth US$20.7 million from the African Development Bank (AfDB). In all the project is costing $251.5 million. Only a 60.5km stretch between Ndop and Kumbo has been completed, with delays having been caused by instability in the region. However the new road will help transport and trade between Cameroon and Nigeria and will help develop the economy of both nations.
