Aného:The municipal councilors of Lacs 1 have approved a balanced budget of 628,954,110 FCFA for the 2027 fiscal year. This decision was reached at the conclusion of the fourth ordinary session of the year, which began on October 27.
According to Agence Togolaise de Presse, the approved budget is divided into two main sections operating expenses, amounting to 479,224,877 FCFA, and investments, which total 149,729,233 FCFA. The municipality aims to use these budgetary allocations to progressively realize priority infrastructure projects, enhance access to basic social services for the population, and improve administrative capacities.
In the area of road infrastructure, the municipal council plans to reprofile access roads opened in 2025 to improve their functionality. Although these roads are already electrified, they remain difficult to navigate due to a lack of loading.
In terms of health, the commune has plans to construct a shelter within a Peripheral Care Unit (USP). This facility is intended to provide a better reception space for women during vaccination sessions and awareness activities.
For education, the municipality aims to build a school building with three classrooms, an office, and a store, along with the provision of furniture for a school facing urgent infrastructure needs. Additionally, the expansion of water and electricity networks is among the local officials' concerns. The municipality also plans to continue efforts in public lighting by installing solar streetlights in villages not yet equipped with this technology.
The mayor, Me Alexis Coffi Aquereburu, attended the session's proceedings.
