The inhabitants of the districts of Agoè, BKS, Limousine and Adidogomè now unanimously recognize this: the development and construction of the boulevard that was winding their area was really worth it. In view of the beauty that this artery already presents when the works begin their decisive phase, it is a whole population that breathes full sanitation.

The boulevard Agoè-BKS-Limousine-Adidogomè rid itself very quickly of its precarious character for which the inhabitants of this part of Lomé, the capital, feared the traffic on this artery. Launched in January 2011 at the same time as the Bd du 13-Janvier,the work of modernization of this way so carried out was undertaken by EBOMAF with the great vigour of which it is recognized. Performance, efficiency and technicality combine hard to give Boulevard Agoè-BKS-Limousine-Adidogomè the face of a truly intra-urban road."It's like a miracle. Our neighbourhoods finally breathe modernity. This is the sign of a certain advance in the development of Lomé. The work slaughtered is without comment»welcomes a cadre of a political party whose seat is adjacent to the boulevard.

Widening the tracks with central floor, bitumen, lighting, drainage channels for wastewater and rain are the main words of the project which records more than 80% of the execution today. The intransigence initially manifested by the residents and inhabitants of the area is simply placed in the lot of misunderstandings. The scope of such a work is undeniable. It is part of the process of strengthening the city of Lomé. This involves the real modernisation of various roads and networks (VRD) through the construction of internationally standard roads and with viable sanitation tools."The Agoè-BKS-Limousine-Adidogomè project incorporates all the criteria of a very modern boulevard"Reminds the operator of the works.

The neighbourhoods of Agoè, BKS, Limousine, Adidogomè today benefit from this great attention which is part of a global vision of changing the face of the Togolese capital."We were born to find this path in a state of precariousness, unsanitaryness and insecurity which has long caused enormous harm to the users and inhabitants of this part of the capital. It took President Faure Gnassingbé to make up for this harm and to give the beneficiaries the feeling of being in the country's first city."supports Jérémie Kakou, vulcanizer at the BKS crossroads. Good life is now at the rendezvous in this part of Lomé.

Unanimity around a healthy work

And the government and municipal authorities as well as the contracting firm today speak the same language with the local people. To expand the arteries, it was necessary to demolish riparian houses whose owners were always receptive despite the compensations. The site also faced religious considerations such as opposition to the slaughter of an old baobab.

Thanks to the intelligent awareness-raising actions carried out by the Minister of Public Works, Andjo Tchamdja and in the sense of the dialogue of the CEO of EBOMAF, Mahamadou Bonkoungou, the people finally understood the validity of this work and joined the construction site massively."There is no point in exceeding the first beneficiaries of a project to undertake it, even if it is a beneficial initiative. It's giving the feeling of imposing. For this boulevard, we preferred the exchange between the different parts. This has resulted in mutual understanding and real support for the populationsEBOMAF Group's CEO explains.

Within a few months of the deadline for the project, the equipment and technicians start, day and night, to make one of the main arteries of the city of Lomé pleasant. More than 80% of the necessary steps for the development and construction of Agoè-BKS-Limousine-Adidogomè Boulevard are completed.
