He invited all stakeholders to get involved for good results.

“What is worth doing should be done well. Roads, schools, health centers are a people’s right. Let’s create quality infrastructures that make technical and financial partners want to support us more. Let’s do them with future generations in mind,” urged the region’s first official.

The Governor also visited several other construction sites as part of the implementation of the Emergency Territorial Development and Resilience Project (PUDTR) in the municipality of Boromo.

In view of these achievements, he expressed his gratitude and that of the people of the region to the first leaders of PUDTR and its partner, the World Bank.
