Cameroon’s new National Assembly building to be named ‘Paul Biya glass palace’

The new National Assembly building, recently inaugurated on November 30, 2024, will host an official naming ceremony on Friday April 25, 2025 where it will be named the "Paul Biya Glass Palace," the parliamentary institution's president Cavaye Djibri announced today. 

“This ceremony speaks to all of us, especially we, the representatives of the people, regardless of political affiliation," stated Right Honourable Cavaye Yegué Djibril. 

The modern structure, valued at FCFA 50 billion is a gift by China, previously hosted the closing of the November parliamentary session shortly after its inauguration.

At that time, the National Assembly President secured the Head of State Paul Biya's approval for the building to bear his name. 

Cavaye Djibril also announced the establishment of a Directorate of Palace within his office. This new department will be tasked "for maintaining this architectural gem equipped with state-of-the-art technical and technological facilities."
