Tripoli government follows up on readiness of new Ministerial Complex at Airport Road’s Tripoli Gate project

The government in Tripoli is making strides toward completing a new Ministerial Complex, a crucial step in centralizing its administrative functions. Minister of State for Prime Ministerial and Cabinet Affairs, Mohammed bin Ghalbon, recently reviewed the executive procedures for finalizing the complex during a meeting with the Libyan Investment and Development Company (LIDCO).

Located within the Airport Road’s Bab Trablus (Tripoli Gate) project, the Ministerial Complex is intended to house all ministries of the Tripoli Libyan government. This move addresses the current issue where many ministries operate from inappropriate locations, including residential areas and villas. The meeting focused on assessing the complex's readiness for operation in the upcoming phase, discussing the technical, operational, and administrative needs of the ministries and public entities scheduled to relocate.

Discussions also explored proposals to consolidate ministries and entities with overlapping responsibilities into shared premises. This strategy aims to enhance institutional integration, optimize the use of facilities and services, and maximize the complex's infrastructure. The emphasis was placed on finalizing and approving the remaining requirements for the targeted ministries and entities to ensure the project stays on track with its approved implementation plan.

The Tripoli Gate project itself is highlighted for its strategic location, easily accessible from major roads including Airport Road and the Third Ring Road. Spanning 67 hectares, the project includes a range of towers, administrative and service buildings, and residential units. It was conceived as the first major project of its kind in Libya to centralize a wide array of administrative buildings in one location, offering ample parking, a significant improvement over the inadequate parking at many current ministerial buildings, particularly those in residential areas.
