Post: Namentenga Residents Mobilize for Construction of Boulsa High Commission Fence

Namentenga: The population of Boulsa, located in the province of Namentenga (KoulsE), has come together for the temporary construction of a 1.17 km fence wall aimed at ensuring the security of staff, users, and equipment within the Boulsa High Commission.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the initiative saw widespread participation from new graduates, local bodies, military and paramilitary forces, and the elderly, all of whom showed up in a display of patriotism to assist in the construction of the boundary wall. The primary goal of this construction effort is to enhance the security of those who interact with the public building and the equipment housed there.

Bassouleymane Ouattara, the Secretary General of the province, expressed gratitude for the dedication demonstrated by the community. He emphasized the importance of the wall, noting that the absence of a boundary wall poses a risk to the safety of users, staff, and equipment. He acknowledged the commitment of the population to mitigate potential risks, particularly given the current situation in Burkina Faso. Mr. Ouattara further encouraged the continued support from the community and other willing parties to ensure the completion of the construction.
