The Law Students Association of the Gambia Technical Training Institute have called on the law students to boycott lectures until the political situation of the country is back to normalcy.

It could be recalled that The Gambia voted on December 1st, 2016 and incumbent President Yahya Jammeh was defeated. He conceded defeat and later made a U-turn, rejecting the results. Since then, the country plunges into a political nightmare and there have been calls by various institutions and organizations in the Gambia for Mr Jammeh to respect the will of the people.
