History of NACDA

On the 23rd of December 1962, at 1.10 pm, at Pa Peter Nkemontoh’s house in Buea a group of young Awing elements residing in Buea decided to come together for a simple purpose of developing Awing.

They were:
– Pa. Peter Nkemontoh                                  P & T Buea
– Pa Francis Forlack Takuh                            Government Press Buea
– Stephen A. Sah                                           Press and Information Buea
– Pa. Frederick E. Mba                                  Government Hospital Victoria
– Pa. Mbonglen M. Mbapeh                            Prime Minister’s OfficeDuring this very first meeting lots of suggestions came up including how to bring others sons and daughters of Awing in neighbouring towns like Victoria (Limbe), Muyuka and even Kumba together for the same purpose. Nevertheless members were asked to try to sensitise and educate the rest of Awing elements living around the Southwest Province on the need to be together.
