It is, Minister, that the Nigerian fleet leaves much to desire to ensure the conditions for road safety. It is for this reason also that you have found it useful to proceed with the renewal of the Nigerian fleet. Where are we with this flagship project of your work at the head of the Ministry of Transport? It is a truism that the Niger Car fleet is old and this does not bode good circulation of people and goods . That is why the Government, under the leadership of His Excellency Mahamadou Issoufou, President of the Republic, Head of State, is firmly committed to a policy of reform and modernization of the infrastructure including the transport sector . In this context, the Ministry of Transport's implemented since 2013, a project to renew the Public Transport Fleet with support and institutional support of the 10th EDF Road program. In April 2014, the National Assembly adopted a law code investments in the Republic of Niger. This investment code which, for the first time in Niger attaches great importance to the transport sector, is one of the major instruments of funding for the renewal of the Public Transport fleet in Niger. As part of the implementation this project, several missions were carried out within the country to identify and select the recipients. The choice of companies producing different types of vehicles is underway. Prospecting missions and research partnership were held outside the country. We have reorganized the establishment of credit lines in the various banks in the market. Already, we have recently signed a partnership agreement with the BIA, and other local banks will follow suit not, for the financing of activities.
