Governor Ibrahim Abu Limon’s agenda in Port Said continues to blend large‑scale urban upgrades with targeted social‑aid programmes. Building on the July 14 inspection of the Borfouad meat‑distribution outlet, the governor ordered an urgent study of weak consumer demand, while confirming that more than 90 % of the commercial‑crossing complex’s concrete structure is finished. The Canal Water Authority, under Major Engineer Ahmed Mohamed Ramadan, intensified preventive maintenance across the sector in late July. Mechanical overhauls and efficiency upgrades were carried out at the Saqr unit of the Rehabilitation Station, repairs completed at the new Sidq station, and maintenance performed at the newly built Baher al‑Baqr and Kap candidate stations. Officials say the programme is intended to raise operational reliability, preserve water quality and extend asset lifespan. In early August the governor inspected further upgrades in the Borfuad area. Road resurfacing, new lighting, sidewalks and façade improvements were carried out on University Street and Hamidi Street, while eight low‑cost housing blocks received renovated sewage and water networks, paved internal roads and upgraded sidewalks. He also visited Al‑Hayat Hospital’s dialysis unit, serving about 85 patients daily, to assess service quality. Later that evening a lighting project in the Sidi Khadija (B) district installed 170 street lamps across 78 residential buildings, enhancing safety and the urban appearance. Governor Abu Limon also inspected municipal works on Oujini Street and the installation of modern lighting along Tariq al‑Bahr in the East district, stressing timely completion to improve traffic flow, safety and the city’s appearance. The “Code Without Borders” programme persists with twice‑weekly Python sessions for participants with disabilities, while weekly open‑door meetings held by the governor distribute urgent financial, food and material aid and address complaints ranging from disability services to market‑stall violations. A parallel public forum in nearby Suez highlighted similar citizen‑service initiatives, underscoring a broader regional emphasis on inclusive governance. Overall, coordinated upgrades to housing, utilities, roads, lighting and commercial infrastructure, coupled with inclusive training and direct aid, remain central to Port Said’s development drive under Egypt Vision 2030.
