AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Fuel & Power Pressure: President Barrow says fuel pump prices will drop nationwide from July 1, while residents question whether new roads and electricity expansion are improving daily business life amid unstable power and high costs. Fertiliser Supply Crunch: Despite government saying subsidised fertiliser is available at D1,100 per bag, farmers in URR report delays at the Basse depot, while others welcome the maintained price and improved distribution through NFSPMC depots, seccos and authorised agents. Agriculture Accountability Clash: The Gambia For All (GFA) rebuts Agriculture Minister Demba Sabally over “disrespectful” comments and claims fertiliser deliveries are chronically late, citing findings from the National Audit Office. Electricity Access Investment: The World Bank backs a $160m project (RAISE) to expand electricity access in Gambia and Togo, aiming to connect about 1 million people and support jobs and agro-processing. Jobs Data Under Scrutiny: The government defends claims of 163,660 new jobs from 2023 to 2026, as lawmakers demand clearer Labour Force Survey methodology ahead of end-June publication. Cross-Border Regulation: PURA and ARTP sign an MoU to strengthen cooperation on telecom and postal regulation across borders. Industry & Trade Watch: High Court orders the Accountant General to show cause in contempt proceedings tied to a dispute involving SHYBEN A. MADI & SONS LIMITED. Skills for Media & Tech: Gambia trains journalists on AI in media as AU broadcasting bodies meet in Banjul. Tourism Resource Coordination: GTBoard and Geology sign a framework agreement to protect TDA resources and streamline investor processes.
