Libreville, Gabon — June 19, 2026 – President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema of Gabon has today initiated a payment scheme for depositors of La Poste SA, a move aimed at rectifying years of public concern and restoring trust in the financial institution.
The ceremony took place at the Main Revenue Office on the Boulevard de la Nation, where President Nguema officially launched the process.
The operation is part of a structured plan to address the financial difficulties faced by thousands of depositors and to restore the credibility of the state.
A total of 18,972 depositors, with savings up to 5 million FCFA, are set to receive payments either through cash vouchers or bank transfers. This initiative is seen as a critical step towards social justice and a testament to the state’s commitment to its citizens. La Poste SA, a financial institution in Gabon, has historically provided savings services to the public.
However, some depositors have faced challenges in accessing their savings, leading to a loss of trust in both the institution and the state.
The payment operation is a significant development, closely monitored by both domestic and international observers. It is expected to serve as a critical test of the state’s credibility and a potential precedent for addressing similar issues across the country.
As the operation unfolds, the Gabonese government faces the challenge of rebuilding trust not only for La Poste SA depositors but also for the financial sector as a whole.
The success of this operation aligns with the broader goals of economic development and financial inclusion, both at the national and international levels.
