26 February 2018

Mr. President, Feb. 18, this year, The Gambia observed its 53rd years of nationhood after it gained independence from Britain in 1965. This year's celebration was an enthusiastic moment for Gambians as the country's first President Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara graced the occasion.

Mr. President during your independence message to the nation, you called on Gambians to nurture the spirit of unity and build the New Gambia. You added by saying that "we can only impact positive change in our institutions and society if we realise that the ultimate responsibility to bring effective systems in place lies with all of us, state and non-state actors. We all have specific responsibilities that we cannot neglect." So thank you for your message of unity.
