Mr Abdoulie B Sosseh, the first vice president of the Gambia National Transport, Agricultural Food and Industrial Workers’ Union (GNTAFIWU), has resigned from his position, effective from 19th July 2008.

In his resignation letter, tendered to the union president, Mr Ousman Drammeh, in the presence of the other union executive committee members during an emergency meeting, Mr Sosseh indicated that it had taken him a great deal of time and thought to ‘terminate’ his current relationship with the union. He said that he had worked for the union for 23 months, during which he had endured many trials and tribulations.

He, however, said that every situation encountered during that period was accepted with a clear conscience, although it had not been easy. He thanked his colleagues for according him the opportunity “to know and make quite a few friends within the organisation”.
 It could be recalled that Mr Sosseh was recently acquitted by the Brikama Magistrates Court for allegation of forging the same union’s letterhead.
