In Pics: What Was Sisi Doing in Assiut?

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi inaugurated Wednesday the Gasoline Production Complex at the Assiut Oil Refining Company in the governorate of Assiut, in addition to a number of other developmental projects in Upper Egypt.

The Assiut Gasoline Production Complex is one of the state’s strategic projects which come within the framework of development plans in Upper Egypt.

The project is the largest petroleum complex in Upper Egypt and aims to secure gasoline supplies for Upper Egypt’s governorates and save the cost of transporting them from the existing refineries in Cairo, Alexandria, and Suez to various regions of Upper Egypt.

Assiut is the capital of the modern Assiut Governorate in Egypt. It was built close to the ancient city of the same name, which is situated nearby.

It has almost 400,000 inhabitants. It is also home to the Assiut University, one of the largest universities in Egypt, to the Assiut Barrage, and to the Lillian Trasher Orphanage.

“President Sisi called for the regular evaluation of the performance and results of Upper Egypt development efforts with the aim of developing the mechanisms and discovering the development opportunities inherent in the fields of agriculture, handicrafts and the distinguished productivity for which the people of Upper Egypt are famous,” said Rady in previous statements in September.
