The Ivorian Frequency Management Agency and its chairman, Abel Djohoré, received three awards on 6 November in Casablanca at the 2026 Pan-African Leaders Grand Prix. They recognise the management of the national radio spectrum, according to a statement sent to AIP.

The Ivorian Frequency Management Agency (AIGF) received two awards at the 2026 Pan-African Leaders Grand Prix, held on 6 November in Casablanca, Morocco, while its chairman, Abel Djohoré, received an individual award, according to a statement sent to AIP on Thursday 12 November.

The AIGF was named Best Promoter of Frequency Management in Ivory Coast and received the Grand Prize for Merit and Excellence. Abel Djohoré, for his part, received the 2026 Pan-African Leaders Super Grand Prize – Sapphire, presented by the president of Novafrique, the event organiser.

The agency also received in 2026 the award for economic and financial performance in the non-market sector in Ivory Coast. The awards recognise in particular its activities in managing, controlling and monitoring the national radio spectrum, carried out with the support of its general management headed by Yacouba Coulibaly, according to AIP.

Mastery of the radio spectrum is presented as a challenge for the quality of telecommunications networks, technological sovereignty and economic competitiveness, in a context of expanding mobile networks, developing digital services and the emergence of new technologies, according to AIP.
