 Initially the action was intended only for the population of Fundong municipality but Mayor Denis AwohNdang who later concerted with the SDO Oum II Joseph arrived at a conclusion that the entire division should be involved such that a substantial amount of money should be raised to boost the efforts of the military currently engaged in the war.
Being the president of the Boyo chapter of the United Cities and Councils of Cameroon, UCCC, Denis AwohNdang said he was going to work with his colleague Mayors of Njinikom, Belo and Fonfuka  and the Senator of the division so that even those out of the division can contribute for the course.
“My appeal is that everybody should contribute nor matter how small it can be. Whatever we realise will be handed to the SDO to transmit to the quarters concern” said Ndang
