In Yaoundé, the May 1 celebration at CAMTEL took on the tone of a strategic milestone. Far from being a simple commemorative ritual, the event stood out as a showcase of the company’s policy of valuing human capital, driven by top management. Gathered at Club Camtel after participating in the traditional parade along the Boulevard du 20 mai, employees experienced a moment that was both solemn and mobilizing, centered on the recognition of work as a driver of performance and transformation.

In her address, General Manager Judith Yah Sunday set the tone by praising the “collective energy” and “quiet resilience” of the teams, emphasizing that behind every service delivered are committed men and women. This message aligns with the company’s current strategy, which places human capital at the core of its transformation in a rapidly evolving technological environment.

The awards ceremony highlighted teams mobilized during recent high-profile international events, including the 14th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization and the apostolic visit. On these occasions, CAMTEL demonstrated its ability to ensure continuous and reliable connectivity, reinforcing its role as a critical infrastructure serving both the State and the national economy. Recognition was also extended to employees involved in organizing the Labour Day activities, as well as to retirees whose professional legacy continues to shape the company’s culture.

Beyond the tributes, the management discourse emphasized an ongoing transformation dynamic. CAMTEL claims accelerated modernization of its processes, marked by the digitalization of operations, expansion of its fiber-optic network, and the development of services tailored to emerging user needs. This trajectory is supported by major investments, particularly in the national backbone, reflecting a commitment to strengthening coverage and service quality across the country.

However, this ambition comes with a call for discipline. Management pointed to persistent challenges related to fraud, lack of discipline, and infrastructure vulnerability, urging greater collective responsibility. “We cannot be technically efficient and humanly deficient,” the General Manager stressed, underlining the importance of delivering comprehensive service quality, including customer relations.

The ceremony also featured a moment of remembrance in honor of a deceased employee, symbolizing the dedication and commitment within the company. It served as a reminder that the ongoing transformation relies as much on technical investments as on shared human values.

Ultimately, CAMTEL is sending a clear message: human capital is the foundation of its competitiveness and transformation. In a rapidly evolving telecommunications sector, the company aims to consolidate its position as a strategic player by leveraging its talent to meet the demands of performance, innovation, and Cameroon’s digital sovereignty.
