On June 3, 2026, Libreville’s presidential palace hosted a pivotal meeting between President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema and Mayor Eugène Mba. This working session, focused on evaluating local governance performance, set ambitious new benchmarks for municipal management aimed at tangible results.
The discussions centered on the implementation of the city’s strategic roadmap and its updated action plan. Several priority projects were greenlit to position Libreville as a model of urban excellence. Key reforms include a comprehensive overhaul of public space management, with a strong emphasis on curbing illegal encroachments on public land.
Transformative initiatives such as the construction of modern parking facilities and the development of lush green and botanical spaces were also approved. By enhancing neighborhood-level infrastructure, the goal is to create a lasting positive impact on residents’ quality of life.
Digital innovation to streamline municipal operations
The modernization drive extends to administrative processes, with a bold push toward digital transformation. This strategic shift aims to achieve two core objectives: simplifying daily citizen interactions with municipal services while bolstering public service efficiency. Additionally, digitalization will fortify tax collection mechanisms, increasing local revenue streams and reinforcing fiscal transparency.
Prioritizing cleanliness for a world-class capital
President Oligui Nguema underscored the non-negotiable nature of urban cleanliness, stressing that a modern capital must uphold impeccable hygiene standards. Clear directives were issued to expedite sanitation efforts, covering waste collection, transportation, treatment, and recycling. The aim is to ensure a healthy living environment for all residents.
By urging Mayor Mba to lead with rigor, creativity, and efficiency, the President reaffirmed his commitment to placing local governance at the heart of national progress while keeping citizen welfare at the forefront of public policy.
