'This is not encouraging, the execution rate which is 7% against a time limit of 41% proves that the work is not progressing,' declared the minister, offended Minister Adama Luc Sorgho. 'We can almost say that the site is abandoned because no machinery has been observed on the site,' he added.

The minister invited the service provider to notify him in writing of the difficulty in question so that he can contact the Defense and Security Forces to find a solution. Otherwise, if the lines do not move, warned the Minister in charge of Infrastructure, Adama Luc Sorgho, th e contract will be terminated at the next visit. This contract, worth 8.092 billion FCFA, was awarded in 2022 to a group of three companies for a completion period of 15 months.
