Media: The new head of RTB2/North intends to discover the potential of the locality


Ouagadougou: The new regional director of RTB2/North, Xavier Belemgnégré, promised on March 28, 2024, to work to further discover the potential of the locality in all areas.

Appointed on March 21, 2024, the former editor-in-chief of national radio and current Regional Director of RTB2/North, Xavier Belemgnégré, took up his position on March 28, 2024.

It was officially installed by the Secretary General of Radiodiffusion-Télévision du Burkina (RTB), Grace Isabellita Foro, at the headquarters of RTB2/Nord.

The new regional director said he was aware of the task ahead of him. This is why he asks RTB partners to support him in this great mission.

‘Let the population of the Northern region make RTB theirs, because the main thing is to work for the return of peace, to bring tranquility to the region. Of course, there can sometimes be misunderstandings, but we must work together to succeed in this challenge. We will work to boost this region in its different areas, because today, we are talking about endogenous
development, the promotion of cultural values. We are going to deploy in all the localities of the region, to discover the advantages, the potentialities,’ he underlined.

Mr. Belemgnégré hoped that his colleagues would give the same dynamism that they had with his predecessor Joseph Bambara.

The outgoing director was delighted with the work accomplished during the seven years spent at the head of RTB2/North.

‘When we arrived, RTB/Nord was a television production center. We were able to reopen the radio which had been closed for years. Since 2018, 89.5 has covered the four provinces of the Northern region and even goes beyond,’ he explained.

He also urged his former colleagues to support his replacement.
