Dr. Ibrahim also announced a series of new projects that will be launched in the coming period, including the establishment of other residential villages, the drilling of artesian wells, and income-generating projects aimed at enhancing the financial independence of families in various regions of Niger.

Dr. Ibrahim and the Governor of Tillaberi region participated in laying the foundation stone for the “Village of Hope”, which includes 47 solar-powered homes, in addition to basic facilities such as a school, a mosque and a health center, which enhances the infrastructure and contributes to improving the quality of life for the residents of the region.
