Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi opened on Wednesday a complex for producing gasoline at Assuit Oil Refining Company (ASORC) in the Upper Egyptian governorate of Assuit.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by senior state officials topped by Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli who delivered a speech in which he praised the state’s development projects in Upper Egypt through establishing a number of national projects over the past seven years to improve the living conditions of citizens.
The prime minister said the state has been working to improve the living conditions of citizens, provide good services for them and reduce poverty rates through establishing such projects.
The project is one of strategic projects as part of a plan to develop Upper Egypt, secure gasoline to the Upper Egyptian governorates and save the cost of transporting gasoline from the refineries of Cairo, Alexandria and Suez to Upper Egypt.
