In a ceremony held on October 30 in Gao, Mauritania's Gao region received a substantial donation of office furniture and equipment. The handover was presided over by Regional Governor General Moussa Moriba Taoré, in the presence of his cabinet members and local officials. The equipment is intended for four former circles of Gao: Gao, Ansongo, Bourem, and Almoustrat. This initiative aims to enhance working conditions for local administrative authorities.

The donated items include ministerial desks and secretarial bureaus, ministerial chairs, filing cabinets, five-seat visitor sofas, refrigerators, visitor chairs, 1000-watt stabilizers, 52-inch televisions with accessories, core i7 and i5 laptops, and various printers, photocopiers, and 1000-watt uninterruptible power supplies. These items are expected to significantly improve the operational capacity of the local administrative authorities.

The recipient on behalf of the beneficiaries, Gao Prefect Bénéna Mounkoro, expressed gratitude for the donation. He noted that the equipment will enable them to effectively carry out their duties as representatives of the state.

Regional Governor General Moussa Moriba Traoré commended the country's top authorities for their efforts to ensure the smooth functioning of the administration. He praised the donation as a significant step towards improving the working conditions of local officials. The governor also urged the beneficiaries to make good use of the equipment and to ensure its proper maintenance.
