Landry Djimpe: 'Without rail, ports and energy, even the richest mineral remains immobile wealth'

Landry Djimpe, partner at Innogence Consulting and co-organizer of Baraza Mining 2026, states that Cameroon cannot capitalize on its mineral resources (iron, bauxite, gold, cobalt) without rail, port and energy infrastructure. Ahead of the June 11, 2026 forum bringing together authorities, investors and civil society, he urges a shift from geological potential to industrial execution. Djimpe emphasizes building a competitive, responsible and value-creating mining industry, focusing on governance, transparency, local processing and national content.
