Toma:Nayala The people of Nayala, alongside the defense and security forces, collaborated on Sunday in Toma to clean gutters and promote local products via a market street. This initiative was part of the third edition of the National Days of Patriotic Commitment and Citizen Participation (JEPPC).

According to Burkina Information Agency, starting at 6 am, members of the 23rd Rapid Intervention Battalion and local residents worked together to clean the gutters along the paved road, driven by the organizers' efforts.

Zakaria Sawadogo, president of the special delegation of Toma, commended the involvement of the defense and security forces, volunteers, associations, and citizen watch movements, emphasizing the importance of citizen participation.

Under the neem trees near the town hall, a street market highlighted local craftsmanship, featuring products such as millet cakes, monkey bread juice, local chickens, Faso Dan Fani, and sandals made from recycled tires.

Honoré Frédéric Paré, the High Commissioner of Nayala, urged the population to prefer local products to support producers, artisans, and the local economy, stressing that village development relies heavily on the commitment of its residents.

Yaya Paré, coordinator of the citizen watch movements, expressed gratitude to all participants, particularly the women from other communes, for their enthusiastic support of the market street. The JEPPC activities are set to continue on October 16 in Toma with a popular cross-country race.
