Nepotism at COUD
It smacks of nepotism at the Center for University Works in Dakar (COUD) where Director General Ndéné Mbodji replaced El Hadji Mamadou Baldé with his friend Djidiack Faye in the strategic position of director of university restaurants.

A position which, according to our interlocutor, has just been created for the first time in the hierarchical architecture of COUD. In fact, he explains, it is as if we were creating the position of vice-president cumulatively with the position of Prime Minister. Otherwise, Djidiack Faye is only there for form but it is Baldé who manages the operational aspects of the restaurants.
