Fada N'Gourma:Gourma The Secretary General of the Gourma province, Botetessan Bonou, welcomed 32 student administrative attaches from the Regional Institute of Administration (IRA) to Fada N'Gourma. These trainees visited to understand the workings of the High Commission.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the group consisted of 30 new trainees and two students from the first class, and they explored the practical aspects of decentralized state services in the Goulmou region.

Botetessan Bonou explained the general organization of the High Commission, which operates under the Ministry of Territorial Administration. The High Commissioner holds state authority at the provincial level, acts as the representative of the President of Faso, the Prime Minister, and other government members, and maintains connections with the regional governor.

The Secretary General provided details on the provincial services' organization, which includes administrative and financial services, general and legal affairs, legality control, and the mail service, all structured around the cabinet and the general secretariat.

He highlighted a staff shortage issue that forces some department heads to assume multiple roles and expressed hope that the new trainees would aid in supporting the administration's operations. Regarding security, he assured the trainees that activities would proceed without disruption as agents were accustomed to fieldwork.

The Secretary General encouraged the trainees to view the Ministry of Territorial Administration as their foundational base and noted their training's relevance for various government departments nationwide. He advised them to uphold discipline, courtesy, and diligence in their duties.

Salif Mogmenga, the IRA student representative, expressed satisfaction with the reception and guidance provided, believing these interactions would better prepare them for their future roles.
