“Don’t kill the national private sector!”: Pierre Goudiaby Atépa urges support for Senegalese entrepreneurs

Pierre Goudiaby Atépa warns that weakening Senegal’s private sector puts the country itself at risk, arguing that no nation has developed by destroying its own businesses. He says entrepreneurs who invest, create jobs and contribute to national wealth deserve support, and publicly backs Amadou Ly, his successor as president of the Senegalese Investors Club (CIS). Atépa also praises CIS founder and honorary president Babacar Ngom and calls for solidarity among entrepreneurs to build a strong national private sector.
