Cameroon's National day is celebrated every year on 20th May. However, Cameroon does not have a single date of independence. This day commemorates the ending of the federal government of erstwhile Cameroon and creation of a unitary state by Ahmadou Ahidjo, the first ever President of Cameroon
French Cameroun, which was a United Nations Trust Territory, gained its
independence on 1st January 1960. On 1st October 1961 the Southern
Cameroons, which were held by the British, became a federated state with
Cameroon from a Trusteeship administered by the British. The national
government opted to choose 20th May as the National Day in order to mark
the abolition of the federal government system and formation of a
unitary state by the first President of Cameroon, Ahmadou Ahidjo. In 1972 the Union Nationale Camerounaise, led by Ahmadou Ahidjo,
adopted the constitution of the United Republic of Cameroon. The
constitution was later amended under Paul Biya's leadership and Cameroon
received its present name.
