Cameroon’s National Refining Company Ltd better known by its French acronym as SONARA piloted by its new General Manager, Jean Paul Simo Njonou is participating at the 8thedition of the International Exhibition for Small and Medium Size Enterprises and Partners of Yaounde dubbed Promote 2022.
The event is taking place at the Yaoundé Conference Center in Yaounde from 19 to 27 February 2022. Objective of SONARA's participation: explain to the public their activities, the strategic mission assigned to SONARA by the state, notably to ensure the supply of petroleum products on the local and international market.
It was also an opportunity to tell the public that despite the fire incident of 31 May 2019, the company is very much alive thanks to the measure taken by Government for the company for SONARA to import products in order to continue to satisfy the local and part of the subregion. This is SONARA’s 8th participation at the fair.
Talking to the press, SONARA Director of Communication, Public Relations, Translation and Interpretation, Ebong PendeEpiekesse Divine who led the company’s delegation to the nation capital on the occasion explained that “This year like in the previous editions of PROMOTE, we have come first of all to explain to the public our activities and the strategic mission which the State of Cameroon assigned to SONARA since the 23rd of March 1973 notably that of ensuring the supply of basic petroleum products on the local and the international market”,
“We have also used the 2022 edition of PROMOTE to tell the public that despite the fire incident of 31st of May 2019, SONARA is still doing well and this is largely thanks to the very special measures taken by the Head of State, President Paul Biya to whom we remain grateful.”
He authorised government to see into it that SONARA keeps on trading which has to do with the importation of basic petroleum products. This means that what we used to produce before the fire incident since the refinery is down, we now buy from abroad and put on the local market and we even supply to some parts of the CEMAC sub region.
Ebong Pende concluded that “We are satisfied that the public has understood us following some of the questions and worries raised in our stand here at PROMOTE.
We were able to throw some light and when we go through our suggestion register, we really see that a good number of them are satisfied and have given us the conviction that they have SONARA at heart given that it is the backbone of the economy of Cameroon. We are all looking forward to the rehabilitation of the affected units.”
