Councils in the South West Region of Cameroon, have been encouraged, to manage plastic waste. This was during a two day seminar which took place at the Chambers of the Buea Council on the 17th and 18th of July 2024.
The Buea Council’s history traces back to 1922, initially established as the Bakweri clan council under Chief Mathias Lifafa Endeley during British colonial rule. It wasn’t until June 29, 1977, that it officially became the Buea Rural Council, formalized by Presidential decree No. 77/203. Prior to this, Buea served as the capital of Kamerun (Cameroon) under German colonial administration from 1901 to 1909 and later as the capital of Southern Cameroons under British rule
