Chef Bojang visited President Barrow at statehouse

Earlier today, I had the privilege of visiting His Excellency President Adama Barrow at the State House with my team. It was a proud and humbling moment to discuss not just my personal journey, but the bigger vision we share for The Gambia’s future in food, culture, and youth empowerment.

We spoke about the exciting path ahead, including the launch of The Gambia’s first food lab, where we’ll create and refine dishes rooted in our local heritage for global recognition. I also highlighted the expansion of our hands-on training programmes aimed at equipping young Gambians with the skills needed to thrive in the culinary world.

His Excellency commended our efforts and encouraged stronger collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture to develop food tourism as a pillar of national growth.

I was also proud to share that the Best of Gastronomie Gambia Chapter will be hosting an International Food Heritage Festival in early 2026. This will be a major step in putting Gambian cuisine and culture on the world stage.

I’m grateful for the support and even more inspired to keep going.

Ethiopian Airlines recorded $7 billion in revenue for the 2023/2024 fiscal year. The Commercial Bank of Ethiopia generated $1.068 billion in revenue during the same period. Ethio Telecom's revenue for 2023/2024 was $1.63 billion. These companies are all state-owned enterprises in Ethiopia unlike in Gàmbia all state own companies are currently being privatized because of bad management.

How the Government is Using the Gambia-Spain Labour Program to Devalue Our Young People

The recent distribution of 10,000 application forms for jobs in Spain highlights a troubling trend in The Gambia’s approach to youth empowerment. Instead of creating sustainable employment opportunities at home, the government appears to be facilitating mass labor migration, treating young Gambians as an export commodity rather than valuable contributors to national development.

While employment abroad can provide economic relief for individuals and their families, it raises critical questions about governance, economic planning, and the dignity of Gambian youth. Why is the government pushing young people to seek jobs abroad instead of investing in industries, infrastructure, and entrepreneurship that would keep them home? If the economy is growing, as officials claim, why do thousands see migration as their only hope?

This program effectively tells young Gambians that their future is elsewhere. It devalues their role in national progress, sending a message that their potential is best realized in foreign lands, not within their own country. This is a failure of leadership. True development isn’t about exporting labor; it’s about creating an environment where young people can thrive in their homeland.

The Gambia must rethink its priorities. Instead of celebrating labor migration, the government should focus on policies that generate jobs, empower entrepreneurs, and invest in sectors that drive self-sufficiency. Gambian youth deserve more than to be seen as workers for another country’s economy, they deserve a government that believes in their potential at home.

18 states have joined forces to challenge President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. The lawsuit aims to protect the 14th Amendment's principle that all children born on American soil are citizens, regardless of their parents' immigration status.

Legal experts overwhelmingly agree that Trump’s order is on shaky constitutional ground. The 14th Amendment states that ‘all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.’ This has been interpreted for over a century to include children of immigrants, regardless of their parents' status.

The swift response from state attorneys general shows the strength of our democratic institutions in the face of Trump. This united front of states, cities, and organizations sends a clear message that attempts to rewrite the Constitution through executive orders will not go unchallenged and that the promise of America as a nation of immigrants remains.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that The Gambia’s AFCON qualifier against Comoros, scheduled for November 15th, will be held outside the country. This decision follows an inspection which revealed that the playing surface at the Independence Stadium does not meet CAF’s standards for international matches. The Gambian Football Federation will now arrange for an alternative venue while efforts continue to bring the stadium up to required standards.
