Bagassi:The special municipal delegation of Bagassi in the province of Balé conducted its first extraordinary session of the year, focusing on the 2027 budget guidelines, financial resource mobilization, and the examination of deliberations. The session took place on Thursday, October 22, 2026, under the leadership of Souleymane Ouédraogo, President of the Special Delegation (PDS).
According to Burkina Information Agency, the meeting allowed municipal members to discuss the operational needs of the municipal administration and the planned investments for 2027.
