The Minister of the Interior announces a special campaign for making and issuing identity pieces in Dakar, Thiès and Ndame

The Minister of the Interior and Public Security, Jean Baptiste Tine, announced, on Saturday in Dakar, the launch of an exceptional campaign of delivery of passports and national identity cards. Scheduled from Wednesday 29 to Friday 31 January 2025, this initiative will take place simultaneously in three localities: Dakar, Thiès and Ndame.

Citizens wishing to obtain their identity documents can go, during these three days, to the dedicated sites: the Millennium Porte in Dakar, the Place de France in Thiès, or the Ndame sub-prefecture, in the Diourbel region . This campaign aims to meet the needs of populations who do not yet have access to these official documents.

This initiative is part of a global approach to the ministry to strengthen the involvement of citizens in public cleaning campaigns. According to Jean Baptiste Tine, the objective is to encourage populations to actively participate in the cleanliness of their living environment, by associating access to identity documents with this collective effort.
In addition to this campaign, cleaning operations were carried out this Saturday in several Dakar police officers, notably at point E, at the Plates Sanainies, and to Diamaguène Sicap Mbao. These actions, carried out in anticipation of the next monthly cleaning day scheduled for February 1, reflect the ministry’s desire to combine public safety and public hygiene.

The theme chosen, “our living environment conditions our security”, underlines the importance of cleanliness as an essential factor of well-being and safety. Jean Baptiste Tine also highlighted the need to build participatory security. “Instead of having security beneficiaries on one side and actors on the other, we want collaborative security to which citizens and police contribute,” he explained.

This campaign constitutes a new step in the efforts of the ministry to bring populations to public services closer and strengthen the links between citizens and security forces. Through these initiatives, the Ministry of the Interior seeks to create a safer and healthier living environment for all Senegalese.
