Malick Nyan, a young Gambian author of the book titled "The Gambia Dates and Events From the Iron Age to the Present Day" which is yet to be available for sale, has harped on the immeasurable support the Daily Observer has been providing for the Gambian people in both information dissemination and social assistance.

Mr Nyan, who has been looking for support for the publication of his book, was offered an interview by one of the Daily Observer reporters which led to his acquiring of a sponsor. " I did not have any word to thank the management and staff of the Daily Observer but I can only exclaim "Job well done" he noted.

Mr Nyan further underscored that he has been looking for support for many months for the realisation of the publication of his book but to avail until he came to the Daily Observer for a short interview with the MD. "Then I was told to come and receive the cheque!" he noted.

He then noted that every body should know that the Daily Observer is playing a pivotal role in the development of the Gambia and urge the Gambian population to claim the ownership of the country’s number one print media. He noted that his main target for writing was the Roots Home-Coming Festival "But because the tourist season is closed, this book will be available all year round at bookshops, supermarkets and hotels" Mr Nyan said. He then thanked the management and staff of the Daily Observer for making his dreams come true.
