Conseil des ministres : Bassirou Diomaye Faye fixe le cap et donne une première mission à Al Aminou Lo
Four days after the announcement of the members of the "Made in" Al Aminou Lo government, they met this Friday, June 5th, for their first cabinet meeting. As is customary, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye opened the proceedings with a statement. In his address, he first commended the "important work accomplished by the outgoing Prime Minister (Ousmane Sonko) and government, and congratulated Prime Minister Ahmadou Alhaminou Mohamed Lo and the members of the government on their appointment." The statement continued, indicating that he emphasized "the special political, economic, social, and security context, which calls for constant commitment, unwavering solidarity, teamwork, and sustained efficiency in the implementation of the National Transformation Agenda."
The Head of State reiterated that the Government, a collegial and united institution whose "fundamental hallmark is loyalty, is accountable to the President of the Republic and the National Assembly." He noted that the Government is assuming its duties at a time when Senegal is at a crossroads, striving to "consolidate its security and sovereignty, build a strong, endogenous economy open to the world, strengthen employment promotion policies, revive productive investment, improve the infrastructure, and enhance the purchasing power and well-being of the population."
In his address, the President of the Republic emphasized the imperative for the government to be one of "work, action, achievements, and rapid results." To this end, he asked the Prime Minister to submit a Government Action Plan as soon as possible. "This operational government emergency plan must include the economic recovery, the consolidation of public finances, the management of sovereign debt, the clearing of domestic debt, and the revitalization of vital sectors," revealed the statement from the Council of Ministers.
During this meeting, the Head of State raised the urgent need to pay particular attention to "the business environment, the development of the national private sector, the informal economy, SMEs/SMIs, the smooth running of the agricultural production campaign, the improvement of household purchasing power, poverty reduction programs, state social interventions and social dialogue."
In this regard, the statement specifies that it calls upon the Prime Minister to intensify "the processes of modernizing public administrations and to ensure the management and performance of all entities in the public and semi-public sectors." Furthermore, it instructs members of the Government to implement, under the Prime Minister's leadership, a "coherent, effective, and results-oriented" local communication strategy focused on delivering tangible results.
Furthermore, the President of the Republic instructs the Prime Minister to oversee the preparation of the legislative agenda, the upcoming budget documents (LFR 2026 and DPBEP 2027-2029) and the budget orientation debate.
In closing, he informed the Government that the Council of Ministers would meet every fifteen (15) days. In the interim, thematic interministerial councils and meetings for planning, monitoring, and evaluation would be held under the leadership of the Prime Minister.
