Njie has contributed to the success of Sahel Agribusiness. His expertise as an electrician has been invaluable in helping the company develop efficient solar systems for low-land irrigation and set up a rice paddy drying machine. Njie’s professionalism, reliability, and willingness to assist make him a trusted partner in agricultural technology projects. His work not only enhances productivity but also supports sustainable farming practices. It’s a pleasure to witness how skilled individuals like Njie play a key role in advancing agricultural innovation.

Born in Brikama-ba, a bustling community in rural Gambia, Abdoulie Njie was once known as a brilliant student who many believed would pursue higher education. Instead, he chose a different path, one that has turned negative perceptions into positive results through his work in electrical installation.

Njie began his electrical installation career in 2013 as an apprentice under a local electrical engineer. “This is something I love since I was young,” he said, recalling how he balanced repairing electrical appliances with schoolwork until his graduation in 2017.

Transportation was a major challenge at the time, but he gradually overcame it. “We all cannot work in the office,” he explained. “I believe that skill is meant for the educated person who is intelligent.”

With his career gaining momentum, Njie’s reputation has spread across rural Gambia and into neighbouring communities in Casamance. Known for his commitment and quality work, he has inspired many of his growing list of customers.

“The majority of the people I worked for don’t know me. I was recommended to them by other customers. When you do quality work for people it will boost you up. And I am proud to make my customers happy with quality work,” he said.

Today, Njie employs more than five people and is optimistic about creating more jobs for aspiring electricians. “Even if you don’t become a millionaire, you will live a stable lifestyle if you have skills,” he noted, urging young people not to underestimate the value of learning a trade.

Njie’s journey is a testament to hard work, dedication, and the power of skills in both personal and national development.

NARI, the Agricultural 👩‍🌾
Research Institute, has selected Sahel Agribusiness to collaborate on a new testing project. The initiative, which will take place in the fields of Sahel Agribusiness, aims to evaluate the effectiveness of new agricultural inputs in improving crop 🌾 yields and soil health.

As part of the project, Sahel Agribusiness has volunteered two of its attached students from , Fatoumatta Njie and Isatou Camara to participate in the project. The students have been assigned their own plots to manage, giving them the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge in a real-world agricultural setting.

said Bubacarr Batchilly, CEO of Sahel Agribusiness. “We are proud to support their education and development as future leaders in the agricultural sector.”

The fertilizer testing project is expected to provide valuable data that can help farmers make informed decisions about the use of agricultural inputs. It also serves as a platform for training and capacity building, particularly for young agricultural professionals.

has emphasized the importance of such collaborations in advancing agricultural research and promoting sustainable farming practices.

The project is expected to run during the rainy season, with results anticipated to be shared with farmers and agricultural stakeholders in the coming months. It is hoped that the initiative will not only contribute to the improvement of agricultural productivity but also inspire more young people to pursue careers in agriculture.

Sahel Agribusiness’s involvement in the project highlights the growing role of private sector entities in supporting agricultural development in Gambia. The organization’s commitment to education and community engagement is a key factor in its success and continued growth in the agricultural sector.
