On Wednesday the 20th of August 2025, the NSIF Board of Directors held an ordinary session, at its Head Office in Yaounde, Cameroon.
Under the guidance of the president of the Board of Directors Ms. Mohamadou Bilitté Haman Djoda, the session, during which a quorum was reached, aimed-among other proceedings-at reviewing the adoption of the minutes and implementation of the resolutions quoted during the previous ordinary session.
The Board members also reexamined the management report as of the 30th of June 2025 and adopted a new general provisions policy, with the main objective being to ensure the solvency of the NSIF by anticipating certain events.
Other aspects that were scrutinised included investments, which should have a positive impact on the national economy, particularly through job creation, and the reduction of the balance of payments (import substitution and mineral exports).
Since her appointment in 2017 as President of the Board of Directors of the National Social Insurance Fund (NSIF), the PCA has embodied exemplary leadership based on rigour, discretion and efficiency. Through her actions, she has helped to transform the NSIF into a model of performance and good governance in Cameroon and Africa.
Mrs Mohamadou, née Billite Haman Djoda, is a Senior Civil Administrator who has risen brilliantly through the ranks of Cameroon's administration. Appointed Chargé de Mission in the General Affairs Division of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic on the 21st of December 2010, her dedication and competence led the Head of State to appoint her, by Decree of 13 November 2017, President of the Board of Directors of the NSIF, succeeding the late El Hadj Ousmane Mey. The first woman to hold this position since the Institution was created in 1967, her appointment marks a historic turning point, symbolising the gender promotion policy advocated by President Paul Biya.
As soon as she became President of the Board of Directors, she played a key role in the structural and organisational development of the NSIF. Under her leadership, the Head of State signed Decree No. 2018/354 of 07 June 2018, relating to the reorganisation and functioning of the National Social Insurance Fund. This decree confers a special status on the Institution, enabling it to fully play its role in social protection, in compliance with the international standards governing this sector of activity. As part of this drive, the PCA prompted the adoption of a new organisational chart, formalised by Resolution No. 78/2019/PCA of 06 December 2019. This restructuring has improved the efficiency of central and external services, while optimising the Institution's performance to provide better care for insured persons.
Today, the NSIF is one of the most distinguished Social Security Institutions in Africa and within the International Social Security Association (ISSA). The Institution has obtained several ISSA certifications in the sphere of good practices, including Quality of Service (2017); Good Governance in 2019; Recovery of Contributions (2022); Promotion of Health in the Workplace; Communication by Social Security Administrations (2023) and Prevention of Occupational Risks (2024). These significant achievements testify to the NSIFs proactive governance and perfect synergy at the top of its management team, helping to make it a benchmark Institution on the continent.
Through her inspiring career, Mrs Mohamadou, née Billite Haman Djoda, is a role model for women and proves that managerial excellence transcends gender.
After a promising start as a Recovery Executive, it was as a Human Resources Manager that she left her indelible mark in the company.
A quick look in the rear-view mirror shows that Mrs ZE MEKA née Lydie EYAMO, was recruited at the NSIF on the 21st of April 1987, with the registration number 3217, as an executive in the Recovery Department (created on the 21st of December 1981, Ed.). She quickly made a name for herself with her dynamic approach and became controller of social contributions and benefits, with the rank of Deputy Chief of Service of the Inspection and Control Brigade in Yaounde, from the 29th of July 1988 to the 28th of July 1994. With more experience in the field of the recovery of social contributions, she was appointed Inspector with the rank of Chief of Service, at the Inspectorate General in Yaounde, until the 28th of September 2000.
Mrs Lydie ZE MEKA
With her wide range of skills, top management felt that the 2000s were the right time for her to change fields. She was appointed Deputy Director (29 September 2000 to 29 February 2005), Acting Director (01 March 2005 to 14 July 2005) and finally Director of Human Resources (15 July 2005 to 11 April 2015). Her fifteen years in career and skills management enabled her to be at the heart of several reforms. These include the first convention to have staff medical expenses covered by an insurer in 2001, the CNPS-GOODWILL Cameroon convention to purchase vehicles for disabled staff, the implementation of the inter-directorate football tournament, followed by the Olympics (from 2011), and the signing of employment contracts for staff from 2009, the setting up of health and safety committees in March 2012, the removal of the NSIF from the collective agreement for banks and financial establishments in April 2012, followed by the negotiation of an establishment agreement and the implementation of a collective agreement specific to the social security sector. The list goes on…
Based on the above, it is clear that Mrs Ze Meka's courageous and ingenious proposals have enabled the NSIF to stabilise its Human Resources Management and to make a fresh start on the road to success.
