5th September 2006


President Yahya Jammeh launched Jammeh Foundation for Peace Second Phase of all inclusive Scholarship package for 55 Students in 16 Basic Cycle Schools in Central River Region in Janjanbureh.

Speaking at the launching ceremony at the Janjanbureh Upper Basic School, President Jammeh said the (JFP) Scholarship package has no political connection. It was initiated to bail out students who cannot pay their school fees. He said although the number of student beneficiaries is small but by next year the number can be increased to 200 students. "I also want you to know that I am not campaigning for vote."

For her part, Fatou Lamin Faye SOS for Education said JFP is non discriminatory. The Foundation is out to help the needy in paying the school fees of the poor.

Other speakers at the launching included Juka Jabang MDI Director and SOS Yankuba Touray.

In another meeting, Yankuba Touray the SOS for Agriculture, who also double as the national mobilizer of the APRC Party has said that the government has lay down plans to rejuvenate The Gambia Producing Marketing Board (GPMB).

SOS Touray made this disclosure on day five of President Jammeh's dialogue with the people tour in Kuntaur on Tuesday. He said the rejuvenation of GPMB is as a result of President Jammeh's benevolence to boost Agriculture and in the interest of Gambian farmers. He assured farmers that come what those farmers whose groundnuts are still not paid, will be paid. He said the APRC government will go all out to develop farming in The Gambia. "Government is committed to sky rocket the development of Agriculture. That is why President Jammeh is bringing 500 tractors as well as introducing the Agriculture Development fund. All these are for farmers." He urged farmers to vote for President Jammeh for their development and progress. He urged the youth to learn skills.
