After the sad demise of Hamidou, the Sport and physical education teacher who died two days after his long awaited integration document was signed, Joseph LE visited his family over the weekend to comfort and convey the head of State's condolence message to them.

He was called "Hamidou".

The Sports and Physical education teacher of the "lycée de Beka" in the North region who joined the current teacher's  strike to decry his pending documents which had not been signed by the Public service since 2010.

Upon getting news of this teacher's situation recently , the MINFOPRA immediately reacted by reaching him  on phone . The conversation ended rather amicably as it was deduced that the late Hamidou's documents were delayed because of incomplete files. Once he sent the elements to complete his file, rapid measures were immediately  taken to salvage his situation and sign his integration documents. Two days after the integration documents were signed alongside a congratulatory letter addressed to the deceased for showing proof of resilience on his job despite his condition, he unfortunately passed away.

Upon meeting up with a delegation of the family of the deceased, including the widow, Minister LE handed over all  documents of the deceased to the widow.

 These documents which include, his integration act as well as the regularization of  his arrears  would permit the widow to gain possession of his pension. In addition to this, he told the widow not to bother to travel to Yaoundé to follow

 up on the documents as the regional delegate of MINFOPRA for the North region had been instructed to handle it.

Mise en œuvre des directives présidentielles  : Joseph LE édifie les responsables et enseignants de l’ENSET d’Ebolowa sur la nouvelle donne

Comme à Douala et Buéa les dossiers de l‘École Normale d’Enseignement Technique d’Ebolowa seront directement transmis au MINFOPRA pour traitement où ils aboutiront dans un délai de trois mois au plus. Aussi, l’organisation des concours d’entrée dans les ENS et les ENSET sera désormais conduite par le Ministère de la Fonction Publique et de la Réforme Administrative, principal gestionnaire des Ressources Humaines de l’Etat. Telle est la quintessence du message porté par le MINFOPRA à Ebolowa.

La salle de réunion de l’ENSET d’Ebolowa a accueilli les autorités administratives de la ville, les responsables et étudiants de l’ENSET ce lundi 21 mars 2022,  pour cet échange riche en informations.  Après avoir rappelé à l’assistance les points sur lesquels le MINFOPRA est interpellé à agir, Joseph LE, a tout de suite présenté son plan d’actions, dont la mise en œuvre à travers les Initiatives à Résultat Rapide (IRR) initiées le 03 mars 2022 est déjà engagée.

S’agissant de l’organisation des concours d’entrée dans les ENS et ENSET, l’ambassadeur de bonnes nouvelles indique, que  des réflexions au sujet de la bonne conduite des activités  y relatives sont en cours avec le Ministère des Enseignements Secondaires.

La phase question réponse, permettra au MINFOPRA de bien expliquer que, désormais la prise de service qui était faite au MINESEC, se Zita fera au MINFOPRA, qui par la suite  s’occupera de la mise à disposition de l’institution utilisatrice, telle que prévue par la réglementation en vigueur.

Un tour à la Délégation Régionale du MINFOPRA, donnera l'occasion à l’homme de terrain d’apprécier la qualité des équipements, qui serviront à  la numérisation des dossiers des enseignants diplômés de l’ENSET d’Ebolowa, pour leur acheminement vers Yaoundé. Le message adressé à ses collaborateurs est le même que celui dans les autres régions. Entre autres, le respect de l’éthique et de la déontologie professionnelle. D’après lui, cet état d’esprit participera d’avantage à la dématérialisation et la simplification des procédures telles que prescrites par le Chef de l’Etat S.E Paul BIYA. C’est sur une note de satisfaction que la caravane du MINFOPRA a quitté la ville d’Ebolowa.
