CAIRO – 12 March 2018: President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi met on Monday, March 12 with Minister of Electricity Mohamed Shaker and Prime Minister Sherif Ismail to discuss the latest updates regarding the current electricity situation in Egypt.
According to an official statement issued by presidency spokesperson Bassam Rady, the discussions included a future perception for the status of the national electricity grid in the country.

Earlier Monday, President Sisi embarked on a quick tour to visit the Rod el Farag axis, Tahya Misr Eastern Bridge and Sphinx International Airport west of Cairo. The projects are considered part of Egypt’s huge development plan that will contribute in solving several problems, including heavy traffic.
In an official statement issued by Rady, it was stated that the president's tour comes in light of his keenness to follow up on the latest updates regarding the major projects that are under construction.

About 85 percent of the project’s second phase has been completed.
Sisi regularly visits the projects that his government announced as part of the development plans and he holds regular meetings with ministers to discuss projects' updates and problems.
