In the face of scheduling setbacks compared to initial projections, the supervisory body, chaired by Patrice Emmanuel Ngollé III, in the presence of the organization's Director General, Paule Assoumou Koki, endorsed an operational reorganization. The recovery strategy provides for the acceleration of procurement procedures related to the second phase of work and technical lots, while strengthening the workforce mobilized by the BTP Buns construction company, the contract awardee, to ensure compliance with the contractual delivery deadline set for July 2027.

The technical status report drawn up by the project management and control agencies (Ministry of Public Works, Labogénie, Hydrac, GA2 and Bissek cabinets) highlights an asymmetric progress of the different compartments of the site. The gross work segment shows a completion rate of 95%, with its complete finalization scheduled for the end of June 2026. In contrast, earthwork operations are experiencing a relative delay, with an execution level of 65%, and are now expected to be completed by the end of August 2026. To secure the supply of specialized equipment and anticipate disruptions in the international logistics chain, a technical delegation conducted industrial prospecting missions in China and Turkey in December 2025 to select the technological components of the building.

The materialization of the administrative infrastructure, whose construction began on January 14, 2024, for a total duration of 42 months, meets operational and sovereignty imperatives for the regulator of Cameroonian airspace. The geographical location of the complex, adjacent to the School of Training and the Center for Research and Air Rescue at the entrance to Yaoundé-Nsimalen International Airport, aims to centralize the command functions of the aeronautical authority. The installation of the first stone claddings from Pouma on the main facade marks the beginning of the building's exterior dressing phase.
