Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô, known as Al Aminou Lo, officially assumed his duties at the Primature, outlining the core directives for his administration. This highly anticipated address followed the formation of the new executive team, sanctioned by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, and firmly positioned the government around unwavering commitment to the “Diomaye Président” project and the comprehensive Vision Sénégal 2050.

In his remarks, the head of government stressed the imperative for public action to be results-oriented, institutionally coherent, and to harness the collective energy of all national stakeholders. He presented a 30-member cabinet, characterizing it as a “mission government,” meticulously structured to achieve a balance between political foundational principles and technocratic expertise.

The Prime Minister also highlighted that the consultations preceding the formation of this governmental team involved all relevant parties, including Ousmane Sonko, the leader of the Pastef party. This clarification comes at a politically sensitive juncture, marked by disagreements concerning the composition of the new executive and Pastef’s formal non-participation in the government.

Without explicitly naming his predecessor, several segments of Al Aminou Lo’s speech were widely interpreted as subtle messages directed at him. By elevating the general interest above partisan considerations, the Prime Minister essentially reiterated that “the Nation and the Republic must always transcend any partisan concern.” This phrasing was seen by some observers as a direct response to the political tensions that have surrounded the governmental transition.

In a similar vein, the Prime Minister emphasized the vision championed by Head of State Bassirou Diomaye Faye, which is centered on urgently realizing the promises of a “sovereign, just, and prosperous” Senegal. He underlined the necessity of mobilizing all available expertise, including that of the diaspora, to accelerate the implementation of key public policies.

From an organizational standpoint, Al Aminou Lo announced several structural adjustments within the governmental apparatus. Certain responsibilities were reallocated among ministries to enhance the coherence of public action. Notably, the Ministry of Energy, Oil, and Mines underwent restructuring, with some mining-related responsibilities transferred to a newly established department dedicated to Geology.

The head of government further indicated that the government spokesperson has been elevated to the rank of a full minister, which, according to him, reflects a commitment to strengthening the consistency and clarity of institutional communication.

Finally, the Prime Minister unveiled a revised approach to governmental conduct, founded on principles of rigor, coordination, and efficiency. This new dynamic, he stated, is designed to translate ambitions into tangible outcomes that directly benefit the populace.
