“This is not just a job it’s a national duty,” declares Minister Badjie at SMT Meeting

The Honourable Minister of Youth & Sports, Bakary Y. Badjie, has issued a compelling call to action during deliberations at the ongoing Senior Management Team (SMT) meeting held at the meeting room of Independence Stadium.

Addressing directors and heads of satellite institutions under the Ministry, Minister Badjie reminded his team of the weight of their collective responsibility:

“Let us never forget why we are here. Our mandate is clear to all of us — serve the youth, uplift sports, and build a future where every young Gambian finds purpose and pride”.

The quarterly SMT meeting serves as a high-level platform for strategic dialogue, performance review, and alignment of institutional priorities towards youth empowerment and sports development across The Gambia.
