Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Gambia Immigration Department (GID) has announced that it generated D584,414,478.30 in revenue from January to October 2025, marking a historic performance in the first ten months of the year.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to the department, this represents a 112% increase compared to the D275,783,860.00 collected during the same period in 2024. Remarkably, the revenue collected in the first three quarters of 2025 has already exceeded the total annual collection of 2024, which stood at D420,219,024.00\u2014an increase of 39%, with the year\u2019s cumulative figures still pending.<\/p>\n

\u201cNotably, the revenue collected in the first three quarters has already surpassed the annual total collection of 2024, amounting to D420,219,024.00. This impressive performance represents an increase of 39%, with the cumulative figure for 2025 still pending,\u201d GID stated.<\/p>\n

The department attributed this growth to several key revenue sources, including the Gambia Biometric Identification System, immigration fees, and the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS).<\/p>\n

GID stated that these results highlight its critical role in strengthening the government\u2019s consolidated revenue base. This achievement reflects the impact of improved financial management systems, robust revenue-collection strategies, accelerated documentation processes, strict enforcement of alien registration, enhanced operational planning, upgraded cashier capacity, and strengthened border management.<\/p>\n

During the period under review, the department also expanded access to national documents for Gambians both locally and abroad. \u201cThese initiatives reaffirm the government\u2019s commitment to safeguarding the rights of Gambians. The initiative further demonstrates The Gambia\u2019s leadership in accelerating the rollout of the ECOWAS National Biometric Identity Card (ENBIC), <\/b>thereby easing identification and regional integration,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

Despite these achievements, GID acknowledged ongoing challenges, including resource constraints, mobility limitations, and legislative gaps, which continue to affect the effective implementation of immigration management and border governance.<\/p>\n

The department emphasized that efforts to combat irregular migration remain a top priority, calling on local authorities, landlords, and communities to support the enforcement of alien registration and the protection of The Gambia\u2019s territorial sovereignty. \u201cCombating irregular migration and upholding immigration standards is a shared responsibility and a patriotic duty for every Gambian national and resident,\u201d GID said.<\/p>\n

GID concluded by reaffirming its commitment to closing revenue leakages, leveraging technology, curbing irregular migration, promoting legal access to identity documents, and enhancing the capacity of immigration staff to maintain a robust, efficient, and service-driven institution.<\/p>\n
