Mais, en même temps, nous sommes heureux de constater qu’à travers ces réalisations, il y a d’autres objectifs qui sont atteints. Nous le disons parce que nous fréquentons cette ville depuis un certain temps pour la visite des chantiers et nous sommes satisfaits de constater justement qu’il y a une meilleure qualité de l’aménagement de l’espace urbain à travers les voies de circulation, les voies d’accès aux stades et aux autres infrastructures connexes. Il y a en filigrane une attractivité plus importante de la ville de Garoua, notamment un magnifique hôtel de 70 chambres qui a été livré et nous pensons que cet hôtel fera la fierté de cette ville qui est l’un des fleurons de ces réalisations dans la mesure où cet hôtel présente très fière allure. A travers les stades que nous avons visités, et plus particulièrement le complexe de Roumde Adjia, nous avons également une meilleure attractivité, une meilleure compétitivité internationale de la ville en tant que site d’accueil des compétitions sportives internationales. Bien sûr, il reste encore à faire, notamment en ce qui concerne certains terrains d’entrainement que nous venons de visiter. A cet égard, nous avons invité les responsables en charge de la construction de ces terrains à mettre l’accent sur un calendrier d’achèvement des travaux qui sont compatibles non seulement avec les exigences des contrats, mais également avec les exigences calendaires de la CAF car comme je l’ai rappelé, nous sommes censé accueillir la CAN au début de l’année 2021 ».
