Apave Senegal on the podium at the Nuit du Bâtiment in Dakar

Organised by the Truelle d'Or Sénégalaise for the first time in Dakar, Senegal, the Nuit du Bâtiment is an event that rewards those who have distinguished themselves best in their various areas of involvement in the building and public works sector, including architects, engineers, contractors, senior technicians, students in building training, bricklayers and other workers in the construction industry. The first edition saw the participation of leading figures in the building ecosystem. According to the organiser, Mr DIALLO, "Our achievements, underpinned by the Quality and Performance of your company, have reinforced this choice". The pre-selection, evaluation and selection of nominees are based on seniority, achievements, markets, innovations, turnover, etc. The jury is made up of sworn experts who are role models in their respective fields.

According to Abdourahmane DIOP, to improve the construction sector, it needs to be regulated. By organising events of this kind, we can see how important it is for us to stick to the right approach and ethical standards. Daouda BA, Managing Director of Apave Sahel, said: "I'm very honoured to be one of the winners of the first edition. It was a great pleasure to receive this recognition, and to see that the work we've been doing on the quality of our services and the in-house training of our staff over the past few years is bearing fruit... a real motivation for the future".
