Madbouly was accompanied on his tour by Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Mohamed Ayman Ashour; Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities Sherif El Sherbiny; Qalyubia Governor Ayman Attia; Deputy Governor Eman Rayyan; Assistant Head of the Armed Forces Engineering Authority Major General Amr Moustafa Mansour, and Chairman of the Urban Development Fund Khaled Seddik.
The Prime Minister stressed that his second visit to Qalyubia
in a week was to follow up on various projects being implemented across the
governorate’s cities and districts. These projects cover educational, health,
industrial and housing sectors, which serve a broad segment of citizens. The
visits aim to accelerate work and improve the quality of services provided to
citizens, in line with the comprehensive development programme pursued by the
Egyptian state across all regions to meet citizens' aspirations.
Madbouly described Qalyubia, which is considered an
extension of the Greater Cairo region, as a distinguished agricultural and
industrial governorate.
He noted it is known for its diverse crops, numerous
industrial strongholds, and prominent historical and tourist landmarks, notably
the Mohamed Ali Pasha Palace and the El-Qanater El-Khairiya barrages.
This, he added, supports the agricultural and industrial
development efforts undertaken by the Egyptian state, especially as the
government prioritises strategic sectors like agriculture and industry and
seeks all necessary measures to enhance them across all governorates to achieve
sustainable development.
Madbouly added that such field visits are not just for follow-up but also to take immediate action to remove obstacles hindering project implementation, citing a decision taken regarding the Menoufia governorate during a recent visit. This, he noted, serves the state's goals of accelerating the launch of projects to serve citizens.
