As February 11, 2026 approaches, the regional capital of the West is buzzing with activity. Under the leadership of the Governor of the Region, preparations for the 60th edition of the Youth Day celebrations are entering a decisive phase, with a major challenge ahead: the festive inauguration of the new Toket Stadium for the civil parade.
Bafoussam, January 29, 2026 – Excitement is palpable within the services of the Governor of the West Region. This Thursday, the second coordination meeting dedicated to preparations for the national Youth Day celebration was held. This strategic session helped define priorities for what is shaping up to be a memorable “jubilee” edition.
Toket Stadium: The New Stage for Youth
Water and Energy Autonomy at the Heart of Discussions
For the Governor, no detail must be left to chance, especially when it comes to the comfort of young people and invited guests. Strict directives were issued:
Stable power supply: A firm instruction was given to immediately follow up with ENEO, with the objective of guaranteeing continuous electricity supply across the entire Toket site.
Water supply: Camwater will be officially contacted to ensure the provision of drinking water, both for parade participants and for exhibitors at the “Youth Creativity Village.”
Contingency plan: The Voluntary Engagement Commission has been tasked with mobilizing backup generators and a high-performance sound system adapted to the acoustics of the large stadium
Unprecedented Mobilization Expected
Beyond technical considerations, the goal is to foster strong popular enthusiasm. Sectoral education officials have been mobilized to ensure massive participation from schools.
The parade arrangements, now validated, will be widely disseminated so that every marching group, supervisor, and spectator can fully understand and adapt to the new stadium configurations.
The Countdown Has Begun
In closing the session, the Governor praised the work already accomplished by the various commissions while emphasizing the stakes of this 60th edition. “We must redouble our efforts to ensure that this jubilee lives up to the expectations of our youth,” he stressed.
The final coordination meeting will take place on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. This session will serve as the final administrative dress rehearsal ahead of the major event scheduled for February 11.
