The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, has appointed the leaders of the Conseil Congolais de la Batterie (CCB).
The order appointing them was read out on Congolese National Radio and Television (RTNC) on Saturday evening, 18 February 2023.
Makimba Mungomba Jerome was appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors and Lecouturier Denis was appointed Managing Director. He is assisted by Kakule Vuko, Deputy Managing Director. Kanda Ntumba Jean-Marie, Zangio Tchioor Muyimp Noel and Mulumba Mpandandjila Thierry are respectively appointed members of the Board of Directors of this public company.
It should be noted that the appointment of the leaders of the Congolese Battery Council is one of the steps taken in the process of implementing the pan-African project of the regional value chain of electric batteries. It is supported by the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia, whose first manufacturing plant for electric battery precursors will be set up in Katanga, in the DRC.
