Tunisian President ends the duties of Industry, Energy minister
The Presidency of the Republic of Tunisia stated that this evening, the President Kais Saied issued an order about ending the duties of the Minister of Industry, Energy and Mines, Neila Nouira Gonji.
Saied made the decision 10 days after his meeting with members of the National Security Council to discuss the file of phosphate production, which has been suffering from difficulties since 2011.
Since the formation of the government of Prime Minister Najla Bouden Romdhane in October 2021, several ministers have been sacked or left the cabinet.
On Feb. 7, Saied sacked Foreign Minister Othman Jerandi, a month after the dismissal of Trade Minister Fadhila Rabhi. Fifteen days later, he removed Minister of Employment and Training Nasreddine Nsibi.
