LUXOR, Egypt, Jan 3 (MENA) – Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has highlighted the significant progress of development projects in Luxor, especially those under the presidential “Decent Life” initiative aiming to improve rural areas.
The premier’s remarks came during a field visit to follow up on the implementation progress of the projects being implemented in the Upper Egyptian governorate.
He inspected ongoing projects in Esna and Armant, two key districts in the province.
The initiative, which is a key focus of the government’s rural development efforts, is nearing the completion of its first phase, with nearly 670 projects already finished, including infrastructure and services encompassing many areas like health, clean water, sanitation and housing. Over 687,000 people in the two locations are expected to benefit from these improvements.
Madbouly’s visit, a year after his last inspection of the region, is part of a broader government effort to ensure rapid progress and complete the first phase before moving on to the next. The government is committed to ensuring that every village across Egypt benefits from the initiative.
The prime minister was accompanied by Minister of Local Development and Acting Minister of Environment Manal Awad, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities Sherif al-Sherbiny and a host of respective officials, including the governor of Luxor.
Governor of Luxor Abdel Muttaleb Emara praised the project’s impact on the local community, noting that the improvements are unprecedented in these rural areas. (MENA)
