By Omar Wally, in Medina Serign Mass
Going to Europe is good but going to Europe skilled is better and is also good to go there through the normal system, Hamat Bah has said.
The minister of tourism and culture was speaking on Wednesday in Median Sering Mass after leading a presidential delegation to pay condolences to the families of those who lost loved ones in last week’s boat accident.
Fifteen people from Medina Sering Mass were among those who perished at sea in the coast of Mauritian. Fifteen thousand dalasis was presented to the Khalifa General of the village to be given to the victims.
Bah who led the delegation said when one has equipped himself and has a profession, anywhere he goes in the world he will be able to deliver.
“What government and the youth of this country should learn form the tragic incident is that they should stay home and learn about something and be able to do something, there and then they can venture wherever they want to go legally and get the opportunity.
“Government has created lots of opportunities which are being exploited by non-Gambians and our citizens are not making good use of those opportunities,” Mr Bah said.
