Benin: Former Cotonou Technical Services Director explains why he left

Sabi Gourgui Orou-Gani, former director of Technical Services at Cotonou City Hall, says he left for personal and professional reasons. He says he accepted an offer from an international organization that he had received several months earlier and waited for the contract to be finalized before announcing his decision. He rejects any connection between his departure and that of Anges Paterne Amoussouga, or any institutional circumstances, and thanks Mayor Luc Gnacadja for their collaboration. His departure comes amid a series of changes at city hall, including the resignation of public procurement official Manet Floriana Gazard on October 8 for personal reasons.
