Enam students schooled on importance of private sector

The Ecole nationale d’administration et de magistrature (Enam) students were lectured by the Executive Secretary of the Groupement inter-patronal Cameroun (Gicam), Alain-Blaise Batongue in the presence of the Director-general of the establishment, Toussaint Linus Mendjana.

The school’s auditorium was full in Yaoundé was full to capacity as hundreds of students from all cycles and sections took part in the academic discourse.

The first section with Gicam focused on the theme: “Enam-Gicam partnership: impregnate the future administrative elite with the realities of the private sector”, where it was stated that as future administrators, students should begin to get familiar with the relationship between the public and private sectors and understand the importance of the private sector in the economy of the country.

According to the Executive Secretary of the Gicam, they were built on the key role of the private sector, which in essence, plays an important role as a creator of jobs and wealth; a position which to him was worth the greatest accomplishment.

"There are more public sectors in the system now. The private sectors should be developed more to have an even public-private sector partnership. He added Batongue cleared misleading conceptions that occur between the two partners for better standing of the national economy.

"It is essential to change attitudes, the dialogue between the private and public sectors must be open and productive”, said Alain - Blaise Batongue.

He thus evoked the students to contribute to the two sectors in the near future. Beyond this seminar, a partnership was sealed between Gicam and Enam. “Gicam has offered Enam students the opportunity to take courses in enterprises for a few weeks”, said Enam DG.
