Nouakchott Port offers land to dockworkers in appreciation of their hard work
On Thursday evening, the Autonomous Port of Nouakchott hosted a ceremony for the distribution of land plots to a group of dockworkers employed by the SOGETRAP company.

The distribution aims to improve the living conditions of dockworkers, a segment known for performing strenuous physical labor in challenging work environments, as part of a government policy to promote social justice and support low-income earners.
The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Fisheries and Maritime and Port Infrastructure, Mr. El-Veadhil Ould Sidati, the Minister of Civil Service and Labor, Mr. Mohamed Ould Soueidatt, the Director General of the port, Mr. Sidi Mohamed Ould Maham, as well as representatives from the relevant sectors.
