DID YOU KNOW?
Lot 4 of the University of The Gambia’s Faraba Banta Campus is a key component of the Government’s ongoing investment in expanding access to quality higher education and strengthening the country’s tertiary education infrastructure.

Day 2️⃣ of ISO SG’s Working Visit 🇬🇲
A productive roundtable with the Honourable Minister of @MoTIEBanjul focused on standards and trade, the economic value of standards, the SDGs, ISO capacity building through ARSO & AFSEC, & advancing the AfCFTA through the Kigali Agreement.

⏳The countdown is on!
We’re gearing up for the National Lighting Forum, where quality, safety, and standards take center stage.

After years of planning and building, The Gambia’s largest, and fully equipped modern hospital is now open, as President Barrow commissions the Farato Hospital.
What was once a vision is now standing before us, bringing advanced emergency and biomedical care closer to Gambians.

Alhamdulillah! 🎓 Blessed to secure an MSc at @CABES_iki (SPIBES) in Abidjan. Infinite thanks to Allah, my family, friends, colleagues, & @AllianceGambia. Excited to bring this knowledge back to serve The Gambia! 🇬🇲🌍 #MScScholarship #CABES
Thank you, Mr. Hydara, for your ongoing service and support to the association.
Recognized! 🏅 Grateful to @utgssa for this Certificate of Recognition for my role on the Advisory Board (2025/2026). Proud to serve the science community at my alma mater. Let’s go, Gambia! 🇬🇲🔬 #UTGSSA #AlumniPride #ScienceStudent

Yesterday was a day I will never forget.
Standing before The Global Tower, the tallest commercial building in The Gambia, I was reminded that every great achievement begins with a vision.

We have the tools. We have the data.
This World Environment Day, let's not just post, let's commit. The Gambia is worth saving, starting now. 🇬🇲 #WorldEnvironmentDay

But here's the other side: Jambur Solar feeds 23 MW with battery storage. A 20 MW solar tender drew 38 bids. Coastal communities are planting mangroves, not just watching them die.

The ocean isn't silent either. Overfishing, plastic pollution choking our beaches and drains, and fishmeal factories grinding up our food security for export powder.
The sea gives us D234M in revenue, but we treat it like an open bin and an open bank.

Our forests: 44% of our land are under siege. 70% already degraded. Illegal charcoal and timber trafficking accelerate monthly. In 10 months, Forestry seized 27 vehicles and dismantled 30 illegal charcoal sites. Not just theft, this is desiccation.

We've lost 20–30% of our mangroves in 25 years. Mangroves that shield communities from floods, filter seawater, and nurse 80% of our commercial fish species.
813 hectares were restored in 2025, but the pace of loss still outruns repair.
Nature's shield is thinning.

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay. For The Gambia, this isn't a hashtag, it's a survival memo.
We are a country of 44% forest cover, 80 km of coastline, and a river that feeds a nation. But the numbers are warning us. Let's take a clear-eyed look at what we're really up against. 🧵🌍

Praise be to Allah. My father, Dr. @AbbaHydara, won the 2026 @HeroesAwards for HealthCare Excellence. I accepted it on his behalf, filled with pride. Thank you to everyone who voted. Congrats to all the incredible nominees. 🇬🇲👁️🏆

Grateful to The Point and The Voice newspapers for publishing our ICJ stance. Thanks to Fatu Network, VOD Media, N24 Gambia. To those still pending, we see you. The demand for answers isn't going away. 🇬🇲 #ClimateJustice #WhereWasOurVote

OFFICIAL: 141 nations voted yes. The Gambia went silent. We’re done waiting. Our press release demands immediate answers from the government. Read and share. The silence ends now. 🇬🇲 #ClimateJustice #WhereWasOurVote #NoMoreSilence @GambiaMoFA
UTG Science Students’ Association retweeted
141 nations stood up for climate accountability. The Gambia stood aside. For a frontline nation like ours, abstaining when you should be shouting isn’t neutrality, it’s a quiet betrayal.
We deserve to know why.

Four days. 50 youth. One movement. 🇬🇲
We closed the #SPSI training equipped and inspired. Profound thanks to my brother Musa Juwara, Dr. Fatty, and @FAOGambia for the trust and investment. The future of Gambia’s food systems is young, evidence-driven, and ready. Onward.
UTG Science Students’ Association retweeted
Day 1 done! ✅ Proud to co-facilitate this SPSI training with @FAOGambia & @UTG. 50 students from Agric, Law & Social Sciences are ready to bridge science, policy & society for 🇬🇲 food systems. On to Day 2! #YouthInAction #FoodSystem
