RAYNAL Assurances, a leading insurance company in Burkina Faso, has inaugurated a renovated roundabout in Ouagadougou, the capital city. The roundabout, located in the 11th arrondissement of Ouagadougou, was renovated as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebrations. The project was carried out in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Animal and Fisheries Resources. The renovated roundabout features a closed-circuit water jet system, a green space with grass and decorative plants, and automatic irrigation.

The renovated roundabout, named after RAYNAL Assurances, is situated on the axis leading to the Ouaga 2000 interchange in the direction of the SIAO. The roundabout is equipped with 20 water guns and 4 projectors, and its green space is designed to be maintained automatically, without human intervention. Protective grilles have been installed to prevent damage from animals and vandalism, and decorative bird figures have been added to enhance the area's aesthetic appeal.

According to Osée Gaétan QUENUM, Managing Director of RAYNAL Assurances, the renovation project is part of the company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy, which has been in place for two decades. QUENUM stated that the project goes beyond simple urban renovation, as it demonstrates the company's commitment to being an eco-citizen and contributing to the well-being of the community.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Pamoussa Ouédraogo, a representative of the Minister of Agriculture, who praised RAYNAL Assurances for its active role in renovating the roundabout. Ouédraogo described the company as a model of eco-citizenship, capable of reinvesting its resources in the nation's service and promoting social well-being.

Ouédraogo called on other companies, traders, and citizens to follow RAYNAL Assurances' example and adopt public spaces to transform the urban landscape. He also urged users and residents to take responsibility for maintaining, protecting, and preserving the cleanliness of the renovated roundabout.

The partnership between RAYNAL Assurances and the Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Animal and Fisheries Resources reflects the company's vision of going beyond financial benefits and contributing to the community's well-being. The renovation project is a testament to the company's commitment to CSR and eco-citizenship.

The inauguration of the renovated roundabout marks a significant milestone in RAYNAL Assurances' 20th anniversary celebrations. The project demonstrates the company's dedication to being a responsible corporate citizen and contributing to the development of Ouagadougou.
