  2. Senegal Pink Lake City Project

    As a capitalist symbolised by our blue hats we aim to fulfill the African Dream for every African across the continent, beyond just Senegal.

    Thanks to its abundant resources and its strategic location on the west coast mid way between the north and south Atlantic Ocean, Senegal is prime for a mega development project. We have political stability, a diverse culture, amicable foreign relations, … what could be better to get – THE SENEGAL PINK LAKE CITY PROJECT.

    After all we all want to see our country in the lead, economically and politically so let’s welcome this project which promises to
    – embrace the environment with solar panels on every building and every site, abundant greenery for visual appeal and for the climate, solutions for freshwater, waste management systems throughout the country, …
    – we will open up job opportunities for every skill and every profession with medical, insurance and pension plans.
    – we will offer every citizen the option to relocate or join us in this endeavour
    – open the gates to tourism, international students to join our extensive educational fields, worldwide tournaments will be played at our massive stadiums accommodating 1000 spectators, …
    – business centres will open up following the latest office design techniques welcoming multinationals to operate from Senegal with easy access to many countries
    – we will adopt sustainable design and engineering practises to have a prominent place amidst the UN countries at the COP meetings and other environment seminars/committees to become the ideal use case in the region.

    We will grow to become the African Hub and ultimately be the AFRICAN DREAM!

    Embrace this as your vision and join us on this mission to make it happen!
