The Minister of Hydraulics and Sanitation, Cheikh Tidiane Dièye, announced yesterday in Saint-Louis the resumption of the project of sanitation of the 10 cities, suspended for several years. In a visit to several flood-affected districts, the Minister recalled that this programme was aimed in particular at Pikine à Saint-Louis, where works had been initiated. ” Nous allons reprendre ce projet. ” ” We are going to take over this project. We will do our best to implement it, in order to relieve the populations”, he assured. The project was launched in August 2018 by the Office national de l’assainissement du Sénégal (ONAS) and concerned Dakar, Pikine, Rufisque, Tivaouane, Kaolack, Touba, Louga, Matam, Saint-Louis and Tambacounda. Its total cost had been estimated at 15.5 billion CFA francs, according to an official note. In Saint-Louis, the works were to cover several quarters: Guet-Ndar, Pikine 1 and 2, Ndiolofène Sud and Nord, Cité Niakh, Diamaguène, as well as particularly vulnerable peripheral areas. I’m not sure.
