Performance classification: CAMTEL tops chart of public enterprises.

The ranking categorises State-owned enterprises, based on their performances between the 2022 to 2024 fiscal years.

The recognition from the State has been described as fruits of the revolutionary structural transformation, embarked on by the results-driven General Manager of CAMTEL, Yah Judith Sunday epse Achidi. 

Minister Motaze explained that the ranking is based on the corporation’s strong financial performances within the period under review.

With the classification, CAMTEL has further cemented its position as a Category One State corporation, and one of the most performant State enterprise in the country.

The recognition has been received with humility, by the CAMTEL General Manager, and the corporation’s staff.

The results-proven CAMTEL General Manager is quoted as having said she sees in the recognition, a call to serve even harder, to stay at the top. 

“I have received so many congratulatory messages from across Cameroon and around the world today. I am deeply honored and grateful for the recognition and for the opportunity to serve,” the CAMTEL General Manager said in a Facebook post.

She added that: “Thank you to all our staff, clients, partners and stakeholders for your trust, dedication and continued support. This recognition belongs to us all”.

Fruits of rigourous management

The recent classification, observers say, comes to confirm CAMTEL’s upward turn of fortunes, since 2018, when the Head of State, H.E President Paul Biya, handed the company’s management to Yah Judith Sunday epse Achidi.

Since then, the “Change Management and Customer Centricity” vision of the CAMTEL General Manager, has been the mantra which she has relied upon to produce a wide range of positive results in record time.

From a revenue of 108 billion FCFA in 2018, CAMTEL has more than doubled its revenue to 217 billion FCFA in 2024. It surpassed 235 billion FCFA in 2025. 

The records led to a net profit, exceeding 13 billion FCFA, for the first time in the company’s history in 2025.

The financial gains have been achieved and consolidated, thanks to the rigorous policy of Yah Achidi Judith Sunday; aimed at harnessing and securing the company’s finances through the digitalisation of payment methods.

The company has also embarked on a vast project to upgrade and boost its fibre optic network, through the deployment of additional 3,000 kilometres of fibre across the country.

The mobile segment is equally receiving a huge boost, through CAMTEL’s Mobile Network Expansion Project, which is upgrading and expanding its mobile coverage in several towns and rural areas across the country.

Aware of the fact that positive results can only come from a dynamic staff strength, Judith Yah Sunday Achidi embarked on a mission in 2024, to refresh the company’s human resources.

She embarked on a wide range of recruitment, with over 700 young Cameroonians with various competences recruited to boost service deliveery.

With Yah Judith Sunday epse Achidi overseeing a heavy investment in infrastructure and human resources, observers say CAMTEL is now poised to break the ceiling.
