Deliberations that would enhance the development of the municipality were taken by the Councillors who intend to work extra hard so as to take the municipality to another level. 

Seen as a realistic budget, councillors scrutinized all possible avenues where revenue could be collected.

It balances in revenue and expenditure at the sum of Nine hundred and fifty one Million (951.000.000) francs, this represent an increase of 0.1% of the 2021 budget.

The investment budget will finance twenty-two (22) projects, thirteen (13) of which are drawn from the Public Investment Budget (PIB) of some sector ministries. The Wum Council plans to carry out thirteen (14) projects with the technical collaboration of some sector ministries. 



The council is determined to create the council farm this year.

 All council projects amount to the sum of 316.05million FCFA. Its high level of realization will enhance the development of the socioeconomic life of the populations of the Wum Municipality.
 
Councillors of the Wum Council decried the fact that their lofty ideas and bright dreams for a more advanced municipality, are hampered by the poor road network.
 
Prior to this Budgetary Session, the Mayor of the Wum Council visited some ongoing projects such as the giant ultra-modern Wum Cattle Market, the futuristic Wum Town Hall, the newly constructed market sheds at the Wum Main Market and the small ruminant market.



During the visit of ongoing projects, Mayor Dighambong exhorted his population to continue respecting barrier measures against COVID-19.

"We are trying to ensure that our population gets better services. For this to be effective, we are calling everyone inhabitant of this municipality to put hands on deck. And to those who think they can drag us behind, posterity will judge them. 
The Corona pandemy is far from its end Let's keep watching out by simply respecting the barrier measures prescribed by the Cameroon government. let's protect ourselves and those around us. Mayor Dighambong said.
