Ville de Thiès : Le budget 2026 arrêté à 8 milliards FCFA
The Thiès City Council met in ordinary session to vote on the 2026 municipal budget. The councilors unanimously approved the budget, estimated at 8 billion CFA francs.
The Council also unanimously adopted several major decisions, including the resolution to officially support the City's bid to host the national celebration of Independence Day on April 4, 2026.
The Council recalled the historical role of Thiès in the organization of this festival, particularly in 1979 under the presidency of Léopold Sédar Senghor.
According to Mayor Babacar Diop, the City of Thiès now has an iconic avenue and the logistical and security capabilities adapted to properly host this national event.
As part of the preparation for 2026, he announced that several projects are already underway and will be consolidated, including the improvement of public lighting, the installation of traffic lights, the paving of Caen Avenue, road maintenance, the municipal library project, as well as training and funding programs for women.
According to him, these initiatives are part of the dynamic of modernizing the City and strengthening its infrastructure, in line with the directive of the President of the Republic Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye, relating to the decentralization of the national parade, promoting territorial equity and the development of regional hubs.
The City Council also highlighted the strategic importance of Thiès' bid to host the International Jazz Festival, at the invitation of UNESCO.
According to the city council, this event, never before organized in sub-Saharan Africa since its creation, will be supported by major sponsors, including the artist Youssou Ndour, and will be a first for Senegal.

Avec un budget de 8 milliards, on nous parle de décisions majeurs parmi lesquelles ne sont pas citées l’entretien (c’est même plus que cela !) des écoles de la cité et des hôpitaux. Le réseau d’assainissement n’est pas non plus à l’ordre du jour. Heureusement qu'il ne pleut pas le 4 avril. La célébration dans la gabegie de la fête de l’indépendance est une vraie farce pour quelqu’un qui a vécu celle de 1979. Quand est-ce qu’on va grandir dans ce fichu pays pour prioriser l’essentiel ?
