The protester wants to see those responsible for the plant ensure the development of cities of Loum and Tombel where they get their products used to make cement.

Joe la Conscience is back to the front. The artist known for his fight for democracy and nationalist claims to take this time to target the Dangote giant who has just opened a cement factory in Cameroon. He would like to see this company ensure the development of localities of Tombel and Loum, cities where the leaders of the plant of the Nigerian Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa, take the raw material used to their manufacturing cement.

“The conditions of unfair exploitation of our quarry by Dangote. I would like that the billionaire should tar at least the Tombel-Loum road that allows his company has extract the raw material, “he says.

Joe la Conscience says he wants to avoid Tombel & Loum the sad fate of Ndjoungo, a village whose quarry is operated by the French company CIMENCAM. “You know dear brothers, there are several fronts in our fight. I just open another. As they say in the neighborhood, it is something that makes the other. CIMENCAM certainly operates for more than 50 years from the quarry of Ndjoungo.

And when you arrive in this town, you have the impression of being in an Iraqi county that suffered severe bombing, with roofs having more than 5 centimeters thick of dust. Not to mention that there is no electricity in Ndjoungo. So my fight is to prevent a repetition by Dangote in Loum of this abuse, “he wrote on the social network Facebook.

Joe La Conscience suggests that his action is beginning to bear fruit. “Thank you because the prime minister has understood my complaints and halted operations until further notice,” he says.
