Pierre Ismael Bidoung Mkpatt, Minister of Arts and Culture has hailed indigenes of Limbe for the hospitable nature which they permit people from all the regions of Cameroon and others from countries such as Nigeria, Benin, Togo etc. to live together in peace and harmony in their community.

Among them were Ministers Nalova Lyonga, Paul Tasong, Joseph Le and other top government officials. “The very important role played by FESTAC in promoting harmonious interpersonal and intercommunity relation in the South West Region and particularly in Limbe is in line with the Head of State’s policy to forge national culture,” the Minister said.
