'Benskineur' admitted to ENAM

Monday, August 17, 2015 will probably remain in the memory of the administrators Enam.

According to Le Messager newspaper, on Tuesday, August 18, 2015, it was during the handshake ceremony between the director of the Enam, Toussaint Linus Mendjana, and new students admitted to Enam that a horde of commercial bike-riders (benskineurs) who stormed the main court of Enam.

"Klaxons and others snuffling came to interrupt the calm atmosphere. After sharp altercations with police elements at the gate, the benskineurs managed to enter the main courtyard before being stopped by the third bulwark of the security forces,” reported the newspaper.

The spokesman of commercial bike-riders, Fouda, attempted to justify the reason for their presence to the assistant General Manager, Andrew Abate Messanga, sent by the Director General of Enam to inquire about the situation.

"Our brother and colleague, Sodime Leopold, had informed us that he was admitted to Enam. This is what surprised us. This colleague is from a poor family without assistance. Surprised by this news; we have come to congratulate our brothers and verify that he was indeed admitted into this institution since he is not the son of a minister, a billionaire or a baron of the regime. We are also here to congratulate those in charge of Enam for their high sense of responsibility and justice,” said Fouda.

In response, the DGA of Enam reaffirmed that "Enam is an institution that is promoting meritocracy. You have seen for yourself. Go and tell the others."

The Commercial bike-riders will not leave Enam empty pockets. Since they were "moved by the human and unprecedented gesture of commercial bike-riders, Dg of Enam handed them an unspecified amount of money to help the fuel their bikes to return to their place of work," reports the newspaper.
