On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, the Presidential Palace in Gabon hosted a pivotal meeting between President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema and Libreville’s Mayor, Eugène Mba. The session, focused on evaluating local governance performance, set the stage for a new era of results-driven municipal management.
The discussions centered on implementing Libreville’s action plan and municipal roadmap. Key priorities emerged to transform the capital into a model of urban excellence. A major effort will target the chaotic occupation of public spaces, aiming to restore order and safety across the city.
The revitalization strategy includes the construction of state-of-the-art parking facilities and the expansion of green and botanical spaces. By enhancing neighborhood infrastructure, officials seek to create a lasting, positive impact on the daily lives of Libreville’s residents.
Digital transformation: the backbone of transparent governance
The reform agenda also prioritizes digital modernization of municipal services. This initiative aims to streamline citizen interactions while fortifying tax collection systems. The dual goal is to boost local revenue and ensure flawless financial transparency in public fund management.
Cleanliness as a cornerstone of urban progress
President Oligui Nguema underscored the urgency of public sanitation, stressing that a world-class capital must uphold impeccable cleanliness standards. Strict directives were issued to accelerate waste management operations—covering collection, transport, processing, and recycling—to safeguard public health.
By urging Mayor Mba to embrace rigor, innovation, and efficiency, the President reaffirmed his commitment to positioning local governance as a driver of national development, with citizen welfare at its core.
