The General Manager of the Iamgold Essakane SA mine Tidiane Barry stressed the relevance of the theme which reflects the commitment of the graduates to play a role especially in a security context as particular. He called on the graduates to show professionalism and avoid laxity in the exercise of their duties.

He also insisted on the cultivation of certain values that constitute virtues, before calling on his protégés to have at heart to be builders: “do not expect anything from users in exchange for the public service rendered, be inspired by your predecessors,” he said.
For the Director General of ENAM, Dr Jacob Yarabatioula, the ceremony commits the graduates to cultivate excellence in their work. He also promised to pay special attention to inclusive training with the consideration of students living with disabilities. To the government and technical and financial partners, he addressed grievances on the creation of a museum of the civil service and on the creation of a language centre.
