According to Shu, the national flag of Cameroon was adopted in its present form on May 20, 1975, after Cameroon became a unitary state.
He described the flag as a vertical tricolour of green, red and yellow pales, with one yellow five-pointed star in its center.
The delegate added that there is wide variation in the size of the central star, although it is always contained within the inside stripe.
Shu further lectured that the green colour of the flag represents the forests in the Southern part of the country and also symbolizes hope.
He said the red colour is a symbol of unity of the country and the blood shed during the struggle for independence.
According to the Public Works Delegate, the yellow colour of the flag represents the sun, the wealth of the nation, and the savannas in the Northern part of the country.
He concluded that the five-pointed star in the center red band represents the unity of the nation.
“The national symbols of Cameroon include seal, code of arm, anthem, flag and motto.” The delegate added.
