He presented his new project following a meeting with Prospère Ntela, the deputy governor of the Kongo Central province.

I came here for an agricultural project, a personal initiative that has been close to my heart for quite some time. We've been working on it for two years, and today we can finally inaugurate it ourselves, through the Cédric Bakambu Foundation. So, this is the project I brought (...) a factory here in Kongo Central dedicated to maize cultivation. And I am very happy, very proud of the work we've accomplished.

A great initiative from "Bakagoal," who did not hesitate to invest in the Democratic Republic of Congo through his foundation.
