Burkina Faso: President Ibrahim Traoré, a model for promoting excellence

President of Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, embodies a vision of leadership that places excellence at the heart of national development. By welcoming the Burkinabe women’s cycling team, champions of the International Women’s Cycling Tour of Burundi, he not only praised their outstanding performances but also demonstrated the importance of celebrating national talent.

These heroines, such as Lamoussa Zoungrana and Awa Ba-Mogo, who won the yellow jersey and the Grand Prix of Bujumbura, respectively, embody the determination and patriotic commitment of the Burkinabe people.

During this meeting, the Head of State reminded that these victories go beyond the realm of sport: they symbolize a source of pride for the entire nation, including the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) and the Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland (VDP). Acknowledging the cyclists’ efforts on challenging terrain, he encouraged their resilience and offered advice to inspire their peers. This dynamic of excellence, fueled by initiatives like organizing a national women’s cycling tour, aims to strengthen skills and prepare Burkina Faso to shine on the international stage.

Through this approach, President Ibrahim Traoré calls on all Burkinabe to follow this example, cultivate their talents, and actively contribute to the country’s growth. By valuing the successes of his citizens, he paves the way for a Burkina Faso where every potential is revealed and celebrated.
