Nation’s former agriculture minister Lamin Ndambu Dibba dies

UDP’s senior administrative secretary Lamin Ndambu Dibba died on Saturday in his mid 70s, the UDP has confirmed.

The party’s leader Ousainou Darboe in a statement said Dibba ‘gallantly’ fought for the country and his leadership will be missed by UDP. Mr Darboe expressed ‘deep’ sorrow and regret while announcing Dibba’s passing.

UDP spokesman Almamy Taal confirmed Dibba’s death to The Fatu Network.

Dibba was the country’s former agriculture minister but was sacked last year by President Barrow alongside Darboe and Amadou Sanneh. His termination came while he was on a trip to Chad.
