He made the remarks during an appearance on the radio program Coffee Time.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ceesay said the project is part of a broader government push to expand the country\u2019s road network, noting that more than 1,300 kilometers of new roads have been built in under two years. \u201cWe will construct the roads,\u201d he said. \u201cLike I said, the government has constructed over 1,300 km of roads in just less than a couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to several recently completed projects, including the main Bundung road, the Safideen road, and the Sukuta\u2013Brufut highway. \u201cBundung, you remember the main Bundung road was in a terrible state,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve built it. The Safideen road, we\u2019ve built it. Now they are benefiting from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ceesay used the interview to urge Gambians to support President Adama Barrow\u2019s bid for re-election in 2026, arguing that continued political stability would allow the administration to advance its infrastructure agenda. \u201cEvery Gambian should make it a duty, a jihad, to ensure the president is reelected in 2026 to continue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that infrastructure remains among the administration\u2019s highest priorities, alongside institutional reforms and improved governance tools. \u201cThe president has three eyes as his priority. Infrastructure, institutions, and instruments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
