“So far 25 million U.S. dollars is available from
the Islamic Development Bank to support farmers with groundnut seeds and
fertilizers for the upcoming rainy season,” President Barrow said in a press
statement.
He said during his recent tour of the county,
people expressed the need for urgent support for agricultural inputs such as
seeds, fertilizers and farm implements.
“I have taken note of the urgent needs of Gambians such as the need for drugs
in our health facilities, infrastructural development such as feeder roads,
electricity and clean water supply, amongst others,” he added.
“All these will require the support of the
National Assembly as an oversight institution to make sure that the quality of
governance is strengthened, laws are respected and the policies are
implemented,” the president was quoted as saying.
“We can only succeed by working together as a
nation.
“We respect our diversity in opinion, we can
always come to consensus to build our nation.”(Xinhua/NAN)
