Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, the Transitional President of Gabon, stated the achievements of the country following the first anniversary of the Liberation Coup in UN General Assembly.
He emphasized that Gabon has fulfilled its commitments to establish transitional institutions, release political prisoners, promote inclusivity, hold a national dialogue, and draft a new constitution.
The next steps, he said, include organizing a referendum, adopting a new electoral code, and revising the electoral register. These efforts, supported by the people of Gabon, are part of a broader plan to restore constitutional order through free, transparent, and peaceful elections.
Nguema also mentioned key reforms in areas critical to human development, such as infrastructure, healthcare, education, the reinstatement of school grants, university competitions, lifting the recruitment freeze, and addressing pension arrears.
“On the day after the Liberation Coup of 30 August 2023, that was carried out without bloodshed, we advocated for the preservation of peace and for national unity by appealing to all stakeholders of the nation, whatever their origins, their beliefs or their social status, in an effort to build a fairer and more prosperous Gabon,” he said.
