Private Burkina Info television is ten years old this year. This anniversary celebration activities were launched this Thursday, May 1, 2025 at the television headquarters in Ouagadougou. It was in the presence of the Minister in charge of Communication, the President of the Higher Communication Council (CSC) and many other authorities.
Unique continuous 24 -hour news channel, Burkina Info has managed to win in the Burkinabè media universe. “These are Burkinabè who decided to create this continuous information chain. It was not easy, because it was the first time that a channel specializing in continuous information (without films or music) was born in Burkina Faso. We had to convince the partners; And ten years later, the Burkinabè adopted the channel, “retraced the director general of Burkina Info, Ismaël Ouédraogo.
Burkina Info has 75 employees, according to the director general, Ismaël Ouédraogo.
In ten years, he continues, Burkina Info has shown professionalism. “During these ten years, at no time, Burkina Info was heard by the CSC for professional breach in the processing of information,” said Ismaël Ouedraogo, indicating that they have shown rigor, professionalism, discipline and commitment.
