The Director General of MIDENO on his part appreciated the collaboration so far from the Delegation of Public Works at Bamboutous, Administrative and Local Authorities. He went further to assure stakeholders that MIDENO is highly committed to the project reason why funds are being mobilized to ensure that the Authority fulfills its own part of the Partnership.

Meanwhile, the Director of the Technical Department of MIDENO in giving an overview of the entire project and commitments of each partner emphasized that MIDENO is not a for- profit organisation but an operational arm of the state with a social mission. That is why MIDENO has made a huge contribution in the partnership in terms of the mobilisation of equipment and personnel . Despite, this, he said the contribution of MINTP is delayed and that this delay in payments has consequently delayed the execution of the project.
