Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, chaired a meeting with a number of top state officials today at the management headquarters of Libya’s Man-Made River.
According to a statement by Dbeibeh’s media office, the Tripoli-based premier discussed plans for developing Man-Made River and the challenges facing that process with the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya, Siddik al-Kabir, the head of the Audit Bureau, Khaled Shakshak, and other officials.
Build in 1983 under the regime of former leader Muammar Gaddafi, the Man-Made River is a massive civil engineering scheme designed to transport water through a network of underground pipes from deep aquifers in southern Libya to its northern coastal cities.
