Still in Biya's Government, came the House of Chiefs. In Biya's Government, we had the PIC that is doing a great job. In Biya's Government came the construction and renovation of Bali hospitals and certain health centers with its equipment's harbor high-level medical experts.
Not only that, Biya upgraded the status of the hospital to an integrated district hospital, that accommodates diverse facilities. Biya's government also built a mortuary house, that has greatly reduced the cost and pains of bereaved families from Batibo, Bali to Bamenda to embalm the dead. Biya still went further to build the New Divisional Officer of Bali office. Biya still constructed the judiciary office in Bali. The Bamenda-ENUGU highway, Biya still chose to pass through Bali, which it could be thwarted through another subdivision, and now thousands of Bali People conve y through that road for international business.
Biya's government has interest in the future of the youths; as such, he has greatly paid much attention to the educational sector, where he has built school infrastructures, renovated those that needed to be renovated. This same Biya we celebrate as a Peace Crusader today was the pillar of conflict resolution between Bali and neighboring villages. Most especially, Biya has admonished the Nation and Bali in particular into agriculture and has greatly supported the farmers with tools and equipment to boost agricultural mechanization. Currently, Biya is ongoing supporting farmers with inputs and machines through the PLUCCA PROJECT (emergency project to combat food crisis in Cameroon)."
