Why is it imperative to have a reputable editor and unrivaled publishers such as Fulladu Publishers?
The responses may largely vary. But one is certain: your readership deserve astonishingly outstanding contents and good grammar. In fact, most Gambian readers lack trust in Gambian books due to ill-fated grammar.

In recent times, self-editing and publishing have become the new normal amongst emerging writers, the underdogs. This averment notwithstanding is no exaggeration!

Conversely, most emerging Gambian writers - so to say - are so confident on themselves and; as a result, they wouldn't want to invest in their books (to conform with standards) or employ the services of competent editors, hence, rendering their works unfit for human consumption.

The opinions expressed here are solely mine.

Where's Sanna Jawara?
It's been said that he abandoned the National Assembly before the expiry of term of office - this is criminal if that's been evident.

I'm happily saddened by the heightened mayhem we witness almost on a daily basis. Priding ourselves on being reliably viable, economically, without moral consideration is a step in the wrong direction.
Together, we can deliver .

Greetings from the DaYA Executives.

As corroborated on reports few months ago, it's crystal clear that the President and Chancellor of the only state-owned university, His Excellency Mr Adama Barrow reiterated his stance to reform sectors as well as strengthening his government's policies for the realization of equitable and sustainable socio-economic development. Similarly, he was, as well, futured by both the print and electronic media to have said: "2019 is a turning point in the annals of governance in the Gambia’s fully fledged democracy..." Therefore, let the writers write. Today is Writers' Day!

Daru Youth Association (DaYA) has held its First Online Executive Meeting on Tuesday, 8 January 2019. The meeting was ,among other things, primarily focused on key priorities ranging from divergent cross-sections of development. What is even more striking about the meeting was the storming attendance of Executive Members who are committed to supporting the development blueprint of the association as well as rekindling ties with prominent businesses and stakeholders such as the Barrow Youth Movement (BYM). Speaking earlier on the issue of registering the association, the president said registering the association is a key priority he holds sacrosanct and that he will leave no stone unturned to get it registered. In fact, he've voluntarily taken the responsibility of registering the association by any possible means upon himself.
Meanwhile, the President who doubled as the Chairperson of the convergence also opined that executive members of DaYA should submit a comprehensive report outlining their action plans for the fiscal year, 2019, while maintaining that all action plans be tendered on or before the 2nd of February, 2019. Similarly, the diasporians will, among themselves, select a representative who will relate to them matters dicuss at every meeting.
In addition, the executive members primarily agreed upon an yearly subscription dues of D300 to be levied on engaged persons (civil servants), but this decision was unequivocally reversed by few members that the annual dues be elevated upto D600; where as, those in the village are charged only D60 as their annual contribution. On the other hand, the diasporians will, among themselves, discuss what they could offer for their contribution.
Finally, the leadership at the helm of affairs also postulated that the Secretary General, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, is responsible for drafting a proposal for the association.
