Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Public Utility and Regulation Authority (PURA) presented a D1 million (one million dalasi) cheque to the AFCON 2024 National Coordinating Committee (NCC) AFCON 2024 campaign.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking during the presentation held at PURA\u2019s office along Kairaba Avenue, Yusufa M Jobe, Director General of PURA said this is a huge achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Barrow and the VP tasked the Gambians to come in whole and in full support of this important event that our youths have been fighting for and have achieved beyond expectations,\u201d DG Jobe iterated in his remark.<\/p>\n

He said the presentation has to do with the country\u2019squalification to the AFCON for a second time consecutively which he said is a huge achievement that Gambians cannot relent to go on notice or unsupported.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe therefore deemed it necessary to give the little we have to this important national event. We are always in support of youth affairs,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n

However, he challenged other institutions to emulate, support, and motivate the youths into sports and also the country in anything.<\/p>\n

Honourable Bakary Y Badjie, Minister of Youth and Sports said the Gambia has made a significant strive in the past years but more so in the last four years in terms is our success in going to AFCON.<\/p>\n

He stated, \u201cAs we succeeded in going for the second time it has left a remarkable mark and that is why we appreciate the efforts that PURA has been making over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minister Badjie thanked PURA for such a donation considering this moment at the end of the year which can be challenging.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope we will come out with the trophy, as we have confidence in the scorpions,\u201d he reiterated<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there is anything that gives hope to young people more than sports and as well as anything that unites us more than sports\u201d the Minister of Sports added.<\/p>\n

Bakary Jammeh, first Vice President of the Gambia Football Federation said this is significant to the country not for prestige but since the qualification of the Scorpions team to AFCON, the sector of youth and sports not only for football has produced nearly forty-five young men and women professionals signing contracts outside the country.<\/p>\n

Saying it is \u201cMore foreign exchange coming into the country, more socio-economic development activities which transcended to all sectors.\u201d He, therefore, thanked PURA for their noble gesture.<\/p>\n
