In a resolutely progress-oriented and development-focused approach, the Prime Minister of Togo, Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé, recently visited the construction, sanitation, and road asphalting sites in the cities of Atakpamé and Anié.
During her field visit, the head of government expressed her enthusiasm for the tangible advancements observed in urban road construction works. She underscored the strategic importance of these initiatives for socio-economic development, emphasizing the potential they hold in shaping the future of these secondary cities.
Rather than a mere routine inspection, this visit reflects a fervent call for citizen action and community engagement. Through a message conveyed via social media, Mrs. Tomégah-Dogbé invited local residents to feel invested in these projects and to play an active role in their monitoring and realization. It serves as a reminder that the success of these endeavors rests not solely on concrete and asphalt foundations, but also on the involvement and pride of the people who inhabit them.
The Prime Minister’s words strengthen the necessity to transcend the barriers of purely physical development. It involves catalyzing a cultural shift, eliciting a sense of ownership and responsibility toward the communal space. This demands a profound mindset transformation, turning residents from mere spectators into leading actors in the achievement of their shared vision.
