Summary
The TAXIGO project has been suspended at Douala International Airport and Yaoundé-Nsimalen International Airport following a strike notice issued by transport unions. Three days before the planned industrial action, the Director General of Aéroports du Cameroun (ADC SA), Thomas Owona Assoumou, ordered the suspension of the project with effect from October 9, 2026, until further notice. The decision was communicated in an official letter addressed to taxi drivers' unions. Meanwhile, the existing taxi operating system at both airports will remain in place. Suspension Follows Meeting at the Ministry of Transport The suspension was announced in correspondence No. 2633-26/ADC/DG/DG.SR, addressed to the Dynamique Unitaire des Syndicats des Transports du Cameroun, a coalition of transport unions in Cameroon. The decision followed a meeting held on Friday, October 9, 2026, at the Ministry of Transport to discuss the strike notice submitted by the unions. In the letter, ADC's Director General stated: "Following the conclusions of the meeting held on Friday, October 9, 2026, at the Ministry of Transport concerning your strike notice, I have the honour to inform you that the implementation of the TAXIGO project has been suspended until further notice." The decision represents a pause in the implementation of a project that has faced opposition from taxi drivers' unions for several weeks. What Does the Suspension Mean for TAXIGO? Although the announcement brings temporary relief to the unions opposing the project, the suspension should not be interpreted as a permanent cancellation. As of the announcement, there has been no official indication that TAXIGO has been abandoned or that its operating conditions will be revised. Concerns previously raised about the project include the requirement for a security deposit, the use of designated vehicles, and daily revenue remittances. Source: 237online.com
