He also announced the establishment of a media-free zone and a fund to support media professionals.
On the economic front, the government permitted the establishment of an economic zone in the western region and a contract for implementing a set of water projects in Sabha worth $285 million.
The salaries were also a focus of debate on Wednesday's meeting, said Hammouda, confirming that the ministers approved a salary increase for the education sector, the higher faculty members, and university employees.
At another level, the cabinet agreed to a proposal to form an emergency response center and security risks in the oil sector and training centers in Benghazi, Zintan, Shahat, Tarhuna, and Hun.
