On July 31st, the Federation of People’s Credit Unions of Burkina Faso (FCPB) held an official ceremony to mark the handover of responsibilities between the outgoing Chairman of the Board of Directors, Nassouri Saïbou, and his successor, Kaboré Adama.

This solemn ceremony brought together several dignitaries, including members of the Board of Directors, the Director General and her deputy, as well as central directors and department heads of the FCPB.

In his farewell address, Nassouri Saïbou presented a positive assessment of his term, highlighting the progress made despite a challenging security environment. Under his leadership, more than 200 billion CFA francs were saved, and approximately 125 billion CFA francs were granted in loans to members of the people’s credit unions. However, he also announced the relocation of 46 branches by June 30, 2025, to better adapt to the country’s security situation. With great emotion and gratitude, he thanked all his colleagues for their unwavering commitment. He took the time to acknowledge some key individuals who had contributed to his career, both within the umbrella organization and at his original branch, during his six years of service. Among them, he mentioned the Director General, Ms. SONDO/NIGNAN Azaratou, the Deputy Director General, Mr. SOME A. Innocent, Mr. SOULAMA Issaka, former Director of the Fada N’Gourma branch, and Ms. KOBYAGDA, the current Director of that branch. Mr. NASSOURI Saïbou, now the 13th Chairman of the FCPB Board of Directors, expressed his willingness to support the new leadership team. He called for solidarity and commitment from members to ensure the success of his successor’s upcoming term, concluding: “May the next report be even more impressive.”
Mr. Adama Kabore, the incoming Chairman, paid sincere tribute to his predecessor for his leadership and the results achieved. He expressed his commitment to continuing the reforms already underway, while focusing his term on resilience, given the current challenges.

“It is with humility and determination that I accept this important responsibility. Together with the Board of Directors and all stakeholders, we will chart a clear path toward excellence,” he declared.
Drawing on his experience in planning, designing, training, and coordinating development programs, Mr. Adama Kabore plans to focus on three key priorities:

• Supporting the strengthening of human capital,
• Supporting the digitalization of services,
• Optimizing the loan portfolio, particularly by adopting a more proactive approach to non-performing loans. This handover ceremony holds symbolic and strategic importance for the FCPB, marking a renewal of the institution’s commitments to its members and affirming its dedication to providing innovative, inclusive financial solutions tailored to current challenges.

True to its founding value of solidarity, the Burkina Faso People’s Credit Union Network continues to bring hope to bereaved families by supporting the education of orphans.

Launched on May 23, 2025, by the FCPB (Burkina Faso People’s Credit Union) General Directorate, the first edition of the scholarship program for the orphans of deceased members of the Burkina Faso People’s Credit Union Network has fully achieved its objectives. This initiative aims to provide financial support to vulnerable youth and contribute to improving the living conditions of orphans.

Following a call for applications launched in the various credit unions, the families concerned submitted their applications, which were then forwarded to the umbrella organization for review. The selection committee, established for this purpose, analyzed all the applications received. In total, 123 applications meeting the eligibility criteria were selected, for a total amount of nine million fifty thousand (9,050,000) CFA francs. The participating funds then organized official scholarship award ceremonies for the recipients. Thanks to this support from the RCPB, more than one hundred orphans will be able to continue their schooling in better conditions. The scholarship amounts are 50,000 FCFA for primary school and 100,000 FCFA for secondary school.
