President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko have undertaken a sweeping overhaul across several pivotal institutions in Senegal. The extensive reshuffle includes changes at the national broadcaster RTS, Dakar Port, APIX, the Post Office, Blaise Diagne International Airport, and the Sanitation Office.
