Consistent with his plan of transforming The Gambia into a middle-income nation by 2030, His Excellency President Adama Barrow launched a nationwide 1,500km roads project. He laid the foundational stones for the first phase of 85.3 KM in 4 communities of the Upper River Region – South (URR- South).<\/p>\n
President Barrow noted that the roads component of the National Development Plan – “*Yiriwa*” is designed to improve connectivity between communities and markets, giving farmers better access to sell their produce. It will make it easier for people to reach hospitals and essential services. The initiative reflects the government\u2019s vision of inclusive development where no one is left behind.<\/p>\n

Community members described the project as a long-awaited dream finally becoming reality. Speakers at the meeting held in Tinkinjo, Tumana District, commended President Barrow\u2019s leadership, saying the developments bring dignity and opportunity to rural communities.<\/p>\n
