More than 8,000 Guinean civil servants have been retired since the National Committee of Reconciliation and Development (CNRD) came to power in September 2021, Guinean President Mamadi Doumbouya said on Wednesday 11 November at the opening of the Simandou Mining Summit. The head of state described these departures as a measure to renew the administration’s workforce, according to Guinee360.
Mamadi Doumbouya explained that the Guinean government is relying more on a new generation and said that young people should contribute to developing local skills. He notably mentioned the possibility of assembling computers in Dalaba and eventually producing cars and aeronautical equipment in Guinea, according to Guinee360.
The Guinean president also said that the country could gradually develop its own production and assembly capabilities beyond the mining sector. He said that an air fleet could emerge in Guinea over the next fifteen years, according to Guinee360.
These statements come as the Simandou Mining Summit has opened in Guinea. The president had already placed young people at the heart of his development policy on 1 October and presented Simandou 2040 as a national economic lever on the same day. This new announcement also comes after his statements on 11 November about former leaders accused of investing state money abroad.
