When I was elected as mayor in 2018, I made sure that I worked tirelessly in implementing my manifesto which addresses women empowerment, health, education and culture among others. What we did when we came in 2018 was to transform, restructure and reposition the council to one of the best area councils in the country. BCC was just like a political bureau before we came into power. I can now tell you that the council is now repositioned and we have now transformed it to a better. institution. We now have qualified procurement officers, record offices among others.

We also focused on culture given the fact that culture is part of Banjul. We thus take a key role in supporting cultural groups in the city as well as also supporting religious groups in Banjul.

You also have seen from the Women’s led cities that One million dollars are given to women every five years. Therefore, BCC will receive one million dollars every year. Also in the area of youth development, we have planned to send some young people outside the country for training among others.
