According to the Congolese authorities, construction work on this project should begin in the first quarter of 2022.

To materialize the construction of the Nabemba-Mbalam railway as soon as possible, the Ministers in charge of Mines of Cameroon and Congo signed a memorandum of understanding to relaunch this project, which has been in place since 2012. In addition, this project should improve the exploitation of iron ore in Nabemba-Mbalam, on the border between the Republic of Congo and Cameroon

In addition, the authorities are also planning the construction of a deep water port in the southern region of Cameroon.
