The MPs made their first stop at the woodpivot enterprise which deals uniquely on the transform of wood into fine furniture.

Speaking during the guided tour of the structure, Hon. Henri Louis Ngantcha said he was very satisfied to see that some Cameroonians living abroad have answered the call of the Head of State, H. E. President Paul Biya for them to come back and invest in their Country of origin. He also said the production of office and home furnitures being produced by woodpivot will go a long way to reduce the importation of these products from abroad.
