Dakar, 1is Oct (APS) – The leaders of the National Employers’ Council (CNP) and the National Confederation of Employers of Senegal (CNES) signed a memorandum of understanding with a view to the “reunification” of these two employers’ organizations, Tuesday , in Dakar.
”We have the same concerns,” said CNP president Baïdy Agne at the signing of the agreement.
The ”reunification” of the CNP and the CNES will ”increase our capacities for production, representation and defense of our interests,” assured Mr. Agne.
The decision of the two organizations is all the more important as “the CNP and the CNES, combined, concentrate almost all” of the economic activity of the private sector, he said.

”We want to achieve our objective as quickly as possible, in the interest of Senegal and businesses. Unity is strength…” reacted, for his part, the president of CNES, Adama Lam.
”We appreciate the interest generated, at the national level, in the reunification of our two organizations. This means that the country expected it,” added Baïdy Agne.
He announced that a committee had been created by the CNP and the CNES to study “all questions relating to this reunification”, including the name of the new organization.
According to him, the Senegal Business Movement, led by Mbagnick Diop, was invited to join this initiative. ”We also discussed with Mbagnick Diop, who is in a good position to join this [démarche]”, said Baïdy Agne.
”Our two organizations are so similar that it is [naturel] to start with the two of us,” continued Mr. Agne, welcoming a “reunification” in the name of “the interest of Senegalese business and Senegal.”
