Full Biography
|Mahammed Boun Abdallah Dionne (22 September 1959 – 5 April 2024) was a Senegalese politician who served as the Prime Minister of Senegal from 2014 to 2019. He was the third prime minister appointed by President Macky Sall. Dionne served at the Central Bank of West African States, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (ONUDI), and as the advisor of the president, before his appointment as prime minister. He was a computer engineer by training.
Early life
Dionne was born in Gossas on 22 September 1959. When his mother gave birth to him, she took refuge in a locality where her grandmother lived. His father worked as a police commissioner.
