Niamey, August 6, 2026 — A rare display of serious deliberation unfolded this Wednesday in the halls of the Ministry of Interior, Public Security and Territorial Administration. Chaired by the department’s Secretary General, Police General Ayouba Abdourahmane, the entire senior administrative command convened to rigorously evaluate initial progress under the sweeping National Refoundation Program (PRR).
For several intense hours, regional governors, department directors and state initiative coordinators meticulously reviewed quarterly outcomes. Their goal: to gauge the tangible impact of ministerial decisions and, where necessary, recalibrate strategies to meet persistent security and administrative challenges in the nation’s most remote areas.
