I am very proud to have awarded this contract to a professional and experienced company like NOIAA and I have no regret to do so and I know my students will be happy.
While Mr. Elliot Campbell SYCAMORE, Sign on behalf of NOIAA LTD, Africa Operations as General Manager, I have no doubt, said Mr. SYCAMORE, we have invested billions of Franc CFA in this continent of Africa and Cameroon in particular. I find it difficult for any of our competitors to invest like us, so why will I be doubting, all the companies that has sign TSA with NOIAA LTD, knows why, they have visited, they saw with their eyes and they come and more will keep coming. It took LINAFI close to two to three years to get this particular Training Service Agreement signed today with us and I knew they would.
Mr. SYCAMORE, continue we are in Africa to invest and make Africa look like Europe, America and the Oceanic, thanks to my direct boss who is a British, Cameroonian from here, NOIAA is not here for a child play, as you can see yourself. We have so many local and international competitors in Cameroon alone and some has been in Cameroon for more than 20 to 30 years and none of them have invested like us but they are out creating problems even want to close us up.
