Celebrating Honourable Bakary Y. Badjie: Five Years of Transformational Leadership and a Happy Birthday to Our Minister

Today, we celebrate not only the birthday of our Honourable Minister Bakary Y. Badjie but also five remarkable years of purposeful leadership at the Ministry.
Since your assumption of office, the Ministry has witnessed visible transformation. From strengthening staff capacity through continuous professional development, to the construction and rehabilitation of football fields across rural Gambia including the “Mboyo” field our impact has been both evident and lasting.
The finalisation of the Sports Bill, renewed support to grassroots sports, and sustained assistance to sports associations and federations have further laid a strong foundation for inclusive sports development nationwide.
These achievements, among many others, speak volumes about your commitment, vision, and passion for advancing youth development and sports promotion. Under your leadership, the Ministry continues to grow in strength and direction, and you remain a role model whose dedication inspires both staff and stakeholders alike.
On behalf of the Permanent Secretary, the entire staff of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and its satellite institutions, we are honoured to associate with you and celebrate you on this joyful occasion.
Honourable Bakary Badjie , we wish you a very happy birthday. May the Almighty Allah continue to bless you with good health, wisdom, and renewed strength as you lead us forward into 2026 in this important national crusade.
Happy Birthday HM more life, more blessings, and continued success.
