Commemorated this year under the theme, Investing in women, accelerate progress, the female staff of the NBTS joined their peers all over the country to celebrate the day dedicated to them. Having carried out a series of activities in prelude to the day, the women turned up at the May 20 Boulevard on March 8, dressed in their beautifully sewn dresses to partake in the traditional march pass that was presided at by First Lady Chantal Biya. The day was further spiced by a reception offered by the GM to the entire staff at the esplanade of the centre, which was also attended by the Deputy General Manager Mr. Emmanuel Maina Djoulde who applauded the women for their commitment in seeing the goals of the NBTS attained through their valuable contribution. It was an occasion for the coordinator of the organising committee for the IWD activities, Dr. Abaa Marthe Dereine Assiga to present a balance sheet of activities which overall surpassed what obtained in 2023 and for which the women needed to be applauded. The workforce of the NBTS counts some 34 women together with the General Manager. Alongside guests invited to celebrate the day, the staff of the NBTS ate and made merry with good music. The staff also received gifts from the General Manager to crown the day.
