The reports state that due to the problems of clearing rights of way, social unrest and other delays in the payment of accounts, the Chinese company China First Highway Engineering (CFHE) believes that the contractual deadline for completion of construction will not be respected.
The other highway between Yaoundé and Nsimalen is already being drawn through an exchange which twenty kilometers aims to streamline the optimal service to Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport.
