Farafenni and other communities in North Bank within a 50 miles radius will soon benefit from an uninterrupted 24 hour supply of electricity, President Barrow told tens of thousands of supporters in the border town of Farafenni.
President Adama Barrow said the OMVG hydroelectric power plant, which he commissioned in Soma in February this year, will significantly stabilize energy supply in the region.
Once completed, the 30KW energy plant is expected to increase access from 40% to 60%; ensuring that beneficiary communities enjoy 24 hours energy supply.
The project is a part of The Gambia’s Energy Roadmap and one of the cheapest and clean sources of energy.
The president also reiterated that his government resolve to continue widening the political space, stressing his government will protect and guarantee people’s rights to divergent views and political plurality.
