Pont Emile Badiane, Aéroport de Ziguinchor : le PM Ousmane Sonko fait des annonces taille
Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko addressed the infrastructure problems in Ziguinchor. The construction of the Emile Badiane Bridge, the road to Cap Skirring, and the opening of Ziguinchor Airport were among the topics discussed in the PM's statement following the Korité prayer at the mosque in his Néma neighborhood.
“For the Ziguinchor airport, on my way here I even wanted to land at the airport. I asked the Minister of Transport and the Minister of Infrastructure to see if it was possible to land in Ziguinchor. They told me that they are putting on the final layer of asphalt and that the commitment made to deliver this airport by the end of April will, God willing, be respected,” the PM said.
He added: "We are all eager for this airport to reopen, and this will allow the roadworks on Cap Skirring to proceed much more smoothly. But I believe the ministers will respect this timetable and that this airport will soon be reopened, God willing."
In the same vein, the Prime Minister reiterated that the urgent needs in Ziguinchor also include the Emile Badiane bridge and the Ziguinchor-Cap Skirring road. "With or without partners, we can begin," affirmed the head of government, emphasizing that the laying of the foundation stone for the reconstruction of the Emile Badiane bridge is imminent.
Ousmane Sonko addressed the funding obstacles, particularly following the suspension of the program with the International Monetary Fund. "The funding that was supposed to be provided is awaiting the progress of our discussions with the IMF. And I said we can't wait," he stated.
Faced with this situation, he clearly displayed a new doctrine focused on sovereignty.
With this in mind, 30 billion CFA francs have been allocated in the 2026 budget to accelerate projects. "My strategy for all our projects is that we no longer wait for external funding," he said.
Through this statement, Ousmane Sonko outlines a governance focused on sovereignty, the effectiveness of public policies and the preservation of national stability, in a context marked by persistent security and economic challenges.
