PORT — GENTIL, Gabon – Between July 14 and 16, 2026, a delegation from the Syndicat des agents du ministère des Transports et de l’Aviation civile (SAMTAC), led by its president, Michel N’nang Metogho, conducted a working mission in Port-Gentil, located in the province of Ogooué-Maritime in the western part of the country.

The exchanges also included meetings with promoters of driving schools who came to meet SAMTAC officials. “.
The agents expressed themselves with great enthusiasm. They asked questions and shared the realities they face daily. This grassroots voice will enable us to build a credible terms of reference, “emphasized Michel N’nang Metogho.
