Sonatrach CEO Noureddine Daoudi, accompanied by a delegation, recently conducted a field visit to the construction site of the seawater desalination plant project in Sidi Laâdjal, Sidi Lakhdar municipality, Mostaganem province. Upon his arrival, Mr. Daoudi was received by Mostaganem Governor Ahmed Boudouh, alongside Lahcen Bad and Ammar Bensalema, the CEOs of the Algerian Water Desalination Company (ADC) and the Algerian Industrial Projects Company (SARPI), respectively, with SARPI being responsible for the project's execution.
During the inspection, Mr. Daoudi noted the satisfactory progress of the construction work, which is proceeding according to the established timeline.
