Justice for Banjul! If hundreds of millions have been generated from the Sino Majilac sand mining while over 100 trucks enter and leave Banjul daily, why is our infrastructure deteriorating? Banjulians deserve transparency, accountability, and answers. #JusticeForBanjul

REFELA CAPACITY BUILDING has commenced today under the theme “Supporting the Capacity of Women for Effective Governance”.
Out 781 women have applied, 50 women were shortlisted to trained on governance in order to have more women in leadership.
I extend my deepest appreciation to everyone who supported and graced this remarkable gathering. During this sacred period of Ramadan and the Lenten season, you set aside your personal commitments to stand together in celebration of the incredible women of The Gambia.
