Libreville’s urban transformation highlighted in Oligui Nguema and Mba meeting

On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, the Presidential Palace hosted a pivotal working session between President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema and Libreville Mayor Eugène Mba. The meeting, framed within a strict evaluation of local governance, set new benchmarks for a results-driven municipal administration.

The discussions centered on advancing the municipality’s strategic roadmap and action plan. To position Libreville as a model of urban excellence, key initiatives were finalized. A major focus is the overhaul of public space management, with a firm commitment to curbing unauthorized encroachments on public land.

The revamped strategy also includes the construction of state-of-the-art parking facilities and the development of green and botanical spaces. By enhancing neighborhood infrastructure, authorities aim to redefine the quality of life for Libreville’s residents.

Digitalization roadmap to streamline municipal services

The second pillar of this reform involves modernizing municipal administration through digital transformation. This initiative aims to achieve two critical goals: simplifying citizen access to administrative procedures while strengthening the efficiency and transparency of local governance. By digitizing key services, the municipality expects to boost tax collection, thereby securing additional revenue for public investments.

Sanitation takes center stage in urban renewal

President Oligui Nguema underscored sanitation as a non-negotiable priority, emphasizing that a world-class capital must uphold impeccable hygiene standards. Clear directives were issued to expedite waste management operations—from collection and transportation to processing and recycling—ensuring a healthier environment for all residents.

By urging Mayor Mba to prioritize rigor, innovation, and performance, the Head of State reaffirmed his commitment to elevating local governance as a driver of national progress, placing citizen welfare at the heart of public policy.
