Algerian Interior Minister Said Saoud oversaw the installation of Abdel Wahab Birtima as the new wali of Tiart province, as part of a partial movement in the ranks of walis and security officials approved by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. Tiart is a historically and economically significant province, with substantial natural and human resources. Its strategic location makes it a link between several provinces in the western highlands.
Tiart province is one of the country's most important agricultural provinces, contributing over 2.4 million quintals of wheat to the national food security. The province also plays a significant role in livestock breeding. Minister Saoud highlighted the province's developmental progress in recent years, including housing, public works, healthcare, education, and vocational training. These efforts aim to implement President Tebboune's directives for a modern and effective administration.
The province has recently gained a significant institutional asset with the completion of the National Institute for Training of Local Authorities. The institute is set to open officially and will serve as a regional training hub for local authority executives. This development is expected to enhance administrative modernization and public service improvement. Minister Saoud emphasized the need for concerted efforts to continue the development process and improve citizens' living conditions.
Saoud called for effective field management, close project monitoring, and combating bureaucracy. He also stressed the importance of listening to citizens' concerns and maintaining coordination between the administration, elected officials, and civil society. The minister urged the new wali to redouble efforts and work diligently to continue Tiart's development and capitalize on its potential.
Minister Saoud also supervised the installation of Toufik Daoudi as the new wali of Ksar Chellala province. This appointment is part of the same partial movement in the ranks of walis and security officials. The promotion of Ksar Chellala to a full-fledged province is part of a comprehensive national approach to reorganize the territory and consolidate decentralization.
The minister highlighted that this institutional transformation aligns with President Tebboune's vision to build a modern, effective, and citizen-centric local administration. Ksar Chellala boasts promising economic, agricultural, and livestock potential, making it a development hub that can contribute to food security and job creation. The province is expected to support economic and social dynamism in the highlands.
The new approach in Algeria focuses on more effective administration, equitable development, and institutions closer to citizens. With these appointments, the government aims to harness the potential of these provinces, enhance public services, and address citizens' concerns. The progress of these provinces will be closely monitored to ensure efficient management and optimal use of resources.
