Vote for our President Saul FRAZER!!🙏🏾

As a Gambian entrepreneur, a champion for the private sector, and a passionate advocate for the growth of our businesses; from small start-ups to large corporations, I am honoured to be nominated for the presidency of the Gambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry - GCCI.

I believe that the GCCI can be a stronger and more dynamic force for national development by unlocking the full potential of Gambian businesses. My vision is built on five pillars: empowering SMEs, attracting trade and investment, advocating for a fairer tax environment, supporting youth and women, and digitalising the Chamber for a modern economy.

With your trust and support, we can build a stronger chamber for a resilient economy.
