Following in the footsteps of the municipality of Libreville, which has been fighting against unsanitary conditions in the city for several weeks, the special delegate in charge of managing Port-Gentil, General Pierre Rizogo Rousselot, recently launched the “No to Incivility, all for Port-Gentil” operation. An initiative that includes awareness, information, and sanctions aimed at restoring Port-Gentil to its former glory.
The special delegate in charge of managing the municipality of Port-Gentil, Pierre Rizogo Rousselot, launched a large-scale awareness and information campaign called “No to Incivility, all responsible for Port-Gentil” on February 15. This operation aims to drastically combat the rampant unsanitary conditions in the economic capital. It brought together all social groups living near the Grand Village market, as well as the neighborhoods of the four districts of the oil city.
This mission has three objectives: to make known the special delegate’s will, to enlist support for his vision, and to act and participate so that everyone keeps their environment clean.
“A few days ago, the special delegate had made a field visit and observed the catastrophic state of the surroundings of our markets. We must therefore sensitize the populations living near the canals,” said the deputy director of external relations and communication, Nicaise Matendet.
For the officials of the municipality of Port-Gentil, the cleanliness of the city is not only a matter for the state. The operation therefore aims to encourage the people of Port-Gentil to keep their environment clean, to clear blocked canals, and also to sanction those who do not follow the guidelines.
“The improvement of the city of Port-Gentil can only be brought by the villagers. We will use the municipality’s equipment,” stated the director of technical services, Kevin Racine Rogombé. This operation initially concerns the Grand Village market where two large channels are blocked by household waste, and then it will be deployed in the lower neighborhoods.
