Every scholar who reads this book will concur that at the heart of John’s analysis is rooted a fundamental question and preoccupation that although Cameroon is naturally endowed with abundant and diverse energy resources, the country however remains an energy-poor state due to the absence of a durable Energy Security Plan, political vision and political will, all of which continue to hamper the development of a range of renewables alongside various fossil fuels to improve and guarantee durable Energy Security to catalyze development and reverse the current energy crisis.
