A forthcoming book by Dr. Martin S. Mungwa, Ph.D., Fellow ASCE, raises a fundamental question about the economic future of Southern Cameroons–Ambazonia: Will our industries be built by MBAs, spreadsheet managers, or technical experts?
Titled Vantage Southern Cameroons–Ambazonia: Who Will Build Our Industries?, the book revisits the legacy of indigenous industrial pioneers, including Nangah Company, Che Company, Kilo Brothers, and Niba Automobile, alongside the historic contribution of Ombe Technical College to skilled workforce development.
Drawing lessons from America, Europe, Japan, India, Ghana, and Nigeria, Mungwa examines how Southern Cameroons can develop its own industrial model rather than simply importing foreign systems.
The book also addresses a critical economic question: Can agriculture, minerals, oil, gas, and forestry produce lasting prosperity without local manufacturing, technical expertise, and environmental protection?
At its heart is a proposed Ombe–Enterprise Hybrid Industrial Model, bringing together technical education, engineering, entrepreneurship, responsible investment, and environmental stewardship.
The book’s central message is captured in an evergreen statement: “An industrial future is not built by spreadsheets alone. It is built when knowledge, skill, enterprise, discipline, and stewardship come together to create lasting productive wealth.”
More than a discussion of economic development, this forthcoming publication invites Ambazonians at home and in the diaspora to rethink the foundations of productive sovereignty.
