Thursday, August 14, 2008

Members of the Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC) have vowed to respond to the vibrant ‘back to the land’ call made by President Jammeh in order to attain food self-sufficiency in The Gambia.

Speaking in an interview with Daily Observer, Mr Yusupha Sanyang, deputy mayor of KMC,  disclosed that KMC will join President Jammeh at his Kanilai farm tomorrow.

According to him, although KMC has not yet secured its own land, preparations are underway to acquire at least a plot of land which will will enable them to participate actively in the Gambian Green Revolution.

Mr Sanyang also called on Gambian youths to move inexorably towards attitudinal changes. Youths, he said, should engage themselves in meaningful activities that would help them to contribute their quota in the development of the country.
