He urged regional directors to prioritize program execution while adhering to quality standards and optimizing public expenditures.
While stressing the importance of adhering to project specifications, the minister noted that ongoing projects aim to enhance the nation’s infrastructure and implement programs crucial for economic development. He highlighted significant investments in the railway sector over the past years to expand the national network, connecting various regions through railway lines.
