Lagune de Mballing : La Présidence stoppe toute construction et ordonne l'expropriation du site
On the instructions of the Presidency, the government has decided to definitively halt all development or construction on the Mballing lagoon, despite its having been legally allocated land. Expropriation proceedings are being considered, with compensation.
The Mballing lagoon will ultimately be neither built upon nor exploited. Following warnings from SOS Déegu Mballing, Mbour Justice, and others, the Senegalese authorities have decided in favor of preserving this site, which is classified as being of public utility, thus putting an end to a project led by a third party.
The Minister of Urban Planning, Local Authorities and Territorial Development, Moussa Balla Fofana, has received firm instructions from the Presidency of the Republic to this effect. This decision aims to ensure the long-term protection of the lagoon, in a context where environmental and land-use planning issues are becoming increasingly critical.
“The beneficiary of the site does indeed have a duly established land title as well as a building permit. Such a site should not be allocated for private use. Faced with this contradiction, the State has opted for a solution of expropriation for reasons of public utility. The owner concerned will be compensated through the allocation of another plot of land as compensation,” announces Momar Ndiaye, Director of Urban Planning and Restructuring.
This decision marks a turning point in land management around the Mballing lagoon, and could pave the way for a redefinition of priorities between urban development and preservation of natural spaces.
The authorities are also reassuring the public.
