Senegalese Infrastructure Minister Déthié Fall presided in Thiès over the handover of a 1,000-bed residence, a 1,000-seat restaurant and a socio-medical complex for Iba Der Thiam University. The ceremony was held on Thursday, according to Dakaractu.
Déthié Fall announced that university infrastructure deliveries would continue at other institutions across the country. The government wants to accelerate the timetable by the end of the year so that students can begin the academic year in better conditions, he said.
The minister recalled that six buildings providing 2,100 places had been received in Diamniadio on 29 August, followed a month later by a 1,000-seat restaurant and additional accommodation capacity delivered in Bambey. In Thiès, the residence meets a long-standing demand from university students, who had been calling for more accommodation.
The handover is part of the infrastructure acceleration policy requested by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. He had called for the acceleration of the national employment policy on 30 September, in an announcement already reported by our newsroom.
