Edition: Widad wahbi

 The Mauritanian Presidency issued a decree yesterday appointing Djagana Issaga as the new President of the Nouadhibou Free Zone Authority. He succeeds Ba Abdoulaye Mamadou, who has been named Mauritania’s new ambassador.

Djagana Issaga brings with him extensive experience in urban planning and development. He has previously served as an expert in urban development projects in Nouakchott, the capital, and currently holds a professorship at the University of Nouakchott, where he teaches geography and urban planning. His background makes him well-suited to oversee the strategic development of the Nouadhibou Free Zone and to enhance its role as a vital economic and commercial hub.

This appointment is part of a broader effort by the Mauritanian government to strengthen development in Nouadhibou — one of the country’s most important economic regions — known for its key role in trade, fishing, and investment.
