The governor of Mauritania's Koutiala region, General Harouna Samaké, has urged regional directors of deconcentrated state services to work in synergy to address population needs. He made the call during a meeting with service heads at the regional governor's office. The governor emphasized the importance of collaboration to support the Transition's actions and meet local demands. This initiative aims to foster a unified approach to regional development.

General Samaké expressed his strong support for the Transition, citing its commitment to development. He stated that the Transitional government's leaders, including General Assimi Goïta, are "true builders." The governor encouraged regional service heads to prioritize the general interest and work collectively towards common goals. By doing so, he believes they can effectively serve the population and contribute to the region's progress.

The governor stressed the importance of responsible mission execution, punctuality, and adherence to administrative rules. He reminded service heads of their accountability and urged them to avoid unauthorized absences and work within the law.
