The esteemed mayor of N’Djamena, Mr. Sanoussi Hassana Abdoulaye, led a significant delegation on Thursday, May 28, 2026, to inspect the damaged Hilton executive site. This critical visit underscores the city’s proactive measures in flood prevention efforts.
Mr. Gadengar Roasna Rodrigue, the Director of Urban Planning for the central municipality, emphasized the strategic importance of the Hilton executive site for N’Djamena.
