Nioro Jattaba Native Elected to Dortmund’s Integration Council

Mr. Biraan S.N.J. Bah, a long-time Gambian resident of Germany, was elected to the Integration Council of Dortmund (Integrationsrat) under the African Community in Dortmund (ACoD).

The native of Nioro Jattaba in Kiang West will serve as one of the 27 councillors on the official advisory body to the Dortmund City Council and Mayor. The Integration Council represents the interests of more than 24,000 Africans and other migrant communities in the city.

The Council plays a critical role in advising on policies that affect people with migration backgrounds, proposing projects to strengthen integration, and raising the concerns of migrants directly within city decision-making. It also works to promote cultural diversity, equal opportunity, and peaceful coexistence.

Mr. Bah, who has lived in Germany for over two decades, was chosen by fellow Africans in Dortmund who recognised his commitment, leadership, and contributions to community activities.

Speaking after his election, community members expressed pride in his achievement, describing it as a milestone not only for him but also for Nioro Jattaba and Gambian communities abroad.

Warm congratulations continue to pour in for Mr. Bah, whose leadership and vision are expected to further advance inclusivity and representation for migrant communities in Dortmund.

Foreign Truck Smashes Community Bridge in Nioro Jattaba

A Senegalese truck with license plates AA627QN (front) and AA895TH (rear) veered off the South Bank Highway in Nioro Jattaba on Monday, damaging a vital community bridge.

No casualties were reported, though the accident occurred amid heavy rain. The matter was reported to the police in neighbouring Sankandi village.

The driver, Biran Jow, said his brakes failed and he swerved to avoid a serious accident. "I managed to avoid hitting people nearby, but the truck ended up in a gully and struck the bridge," he explained.

Eyewitnesses confirmed the truck narrowly missed some people close to the bridge before crashing into it.

Residents expressed deep concern over the damage, noting the bridge was built entirely through community contributions after years of hard work. It serves as a crucial link between two parts of the village and is the main passage for schoolchildren, spanning a dangerous gully prone to erosion.

The graduates (Ismaila Bah, Momodou Bah, Modou Loum, Lamarana Jallow, Abdoulie A. Bah, and Aja Bah) were part of Intake 1 2025, which began on 1 January this year. The passing-out ceremony was held on Wednesday morning at MacCarthy Square in Banjul following seven months of intensive training at the Gambia Police Force Training School.

Family members, friends, and well-wishers from across the country gathered at the event, which featured parade demonstrations and other ceremonial displays.

The ceremony marked the formal entry of the graduates into active service with the Gambia Police Force, as part of the country’s efforts to strengthen law enforcement and promote national security.

The presence of six recruits from Nioro Jattaba was met with pride by residents of the village, with many describing it as a positive development for youth empowerment in the area.

As they begin their service to the nation, warm congratulations go to all of them and the entire police cohort of 2025.

Tankular Defeats Wudeba 3–0 in Group B Opener of Kiang West Tournament

Tankular delivered a commanding performance on Saturday, defeating Wudeba 3–0 in the opening fixture of Group B in the ongoing Kiang West District Football Tournament.

The match, held at Jali Football Field, featured an impressive display from Omar Barrow, who scored twice in the first half, setting the tone for Tankular’s dominance.
In the final minutes of the game, Lamin Drammeh sealed the victory with a third goal, securing a comfortable win for Tankular.

Wudeba, who made a surprising impact in the 2024 season, struggled to break through Tankular’s defence and continued their search for a consolation goal as rain fell over the field.

The former National Assembly Member for Kiang West, Hon. Menata Njie, congratulated both teams for their display of talent and commended the Riverside Boys (Tankular) for their strong start to the tournament.

According to the current fixture, the tournament is scheduled to run throughout the summer season, concluding at the end of September 2025.

Mr. Ansumana Sanneh, President of the Lower River Regional Football Association, commended the Kiang West Football Committee for their efforts, as well as the participating teams and all stakeholders for their contributions to grassroots football development.
