Banjul, The Gambia-The appointment of Mr. Ahmad Gitteh as Special Adviser to the Minister of Telecommunications and Digital Economy has been warmly welcomed as a recognition of youth leadership, patriotism, and democratic commitment.
Mr. Gitteh, a founding member of the ruling NPP and a pro-democracy activist in the Gambian diaspora, has played a pivotal role in the struggle against dictatorship and the restoration of democracy in The Gambia. His appointment reflects the government’s confidence in the capacity of educated, loyal youth to contribute meaningfully to national development.
“This appointment is a testament to the potential of young Gambians who engage in politics not as anonymous critics or insulters, but as individuals who contribute to society through knowledge, integrity, and patriotism,” the statement reads.
It further underscores President Barrow’s commitment to empowering youth in government not merely through patronage, but by rewarding hard work, patriotism, and loyalty.
Congratulations to Mr. Ahmad Gitteh on this well-deserved appointment. His service is expected to strengthen institutions and advance the digital transformation agenda of The Gambia.
