Ouagadougou, Dec. 3, 2025 (AIB) – The City Management Center (CEGECI), responsible for building the Rimkiéta City whose foundation stone was laid on Wednesday, has expressed its desire to offer the population modern, accessible and sustainable housing.

The buildings will be erected on an area of 8.4 hectares in Nonghin, in sector 35 of Ouagadougou.

“I would like to acknowledge the essential role of Coris Bank International, which is supporting CEGECI in financing this project. This strategic partnership shows that synergy between public and private institutions is essential to meeting the challenge of housing and urban development,” she said.
Ms. Gon Tali Martine Ky also invited all Burkinabe, both inside the country and in the diaspora, to fully support the project and benefit from it.
The president of the special delegation (PDS) of the 8th district of Ouagadougou, Halidou Congo, for his part thanked CEGECI for its vision and commitment to decent housing in his district.
