Pô:Nahouri A joint mission from the Presidency of Faso, the Association of Airports of Burkina, and the Ministry in charge of the Construction of the Nation visited Pô to engage with communities affected by the upcoming Pô airport construction.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the mission, led by Léon Kiendrébèogo, aimed to discuss the impact of the airport project on local residents. Kiendrébèogo emphasized that the development of the airport would require significant land, affecting several villages, including Torèm, Tiakané, Katchéli, and sector 6 of Pô.
Kiendrébèogo outlined the participatory and inclusive approach planned for the construction process, highlighting the importance of presenting assessment and compensation procedures to those impacted. He reassured affected residents that they would be compensated based on identified and evaluated investments.
Residents were encouraged to declare their achievements for consideration during on-the-ground evaluations, as part of efforts to dispel rumors and foster support for the project. Additionally, Luc Pétrabou, the 2nd vice-president of the special delegation, urged participants to combat misinformation and serve as community liaisons to ensure the project's success.
