Municipal Updates Marks 10 Years, Unveils Plans for New Phase

-

By David Babiaka

Municipal Updates Daily, one of Cameroon’s widely read daily newspapers, will celebrate its 10th anniversary on October 10, 2026, with a ceremony at the National Episcopal Conference in Yaoundé.

The anniversary marks a decade-long journey that began in April 2015, when the newspaper was founded in Buea by its Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, Cham Victor Bama.

Municipal Updates has since evolved from a modest weekly publication into a daily newspaper. It was relaunched as a biweekly publication in 2020 before attaining daily status in 2022, a significant milestone in Cameroon’s media landscape.

Newspaper’s Next Phase

According to Cham Victor Bama, the anniversary celebration will also serve as an opportunity to unveil new projects and initiatives that will shape the newspaper’s next phase.

Among the projects to be presented is a plan to construct a new and befitting head office for the newspaper. The publisher also announced plans for new office equipment, a new logo and a new motor for the daily newspaper.

Cham Victor said the initiatives are part of efforts to strengthen Municipal Updates as it enters its next decade and consolidates its position in Cameroon’s media landscape.

He added that other surprises have been planned and will be unveiled during the anniversary celebration.

Guests from across the country and from different walks of life have been invited to join the newspaper in marking the milestone.

The October 10 event is therefore expected to be both a celebration of Municipal Updates’ 10-year journey and a platform for presenting its vision for the years ahead.
