At a ceremony in Abidjan marking the 25th anniversary of the Road Maintenance Fund (FER) and AGEROUTE, Téné Birahima Ouattara urged officials to preserve existing roads amid rising traffic, overloaded trucks and climate change. He set out four priorities: provide regular maintenance funding, curb overloading, adapt infrastructure to climate conditions, and expand access to public contracts for SMEs and young people.
