The registrar of the University of The Gambia Dr Momodou Lamin Tarro has hit back at claims UTG is as bad a primary school producing poor graduates.
The head of the faculty and staff association of the UTG Dr Alieu Gibba charged in an interview with The Fatu Netwok that UTG was like a primary school.
But speaking to The Fatu Network on Tuesday, Dr Momodou Lamin Tarro hit back: “That is not coming from the management. This is coming from an aggrieved person. I can tell you that our students are very good. They have travelled out of this country and they have won laurels.
“Some of them have gone to Oxford, others have gone to Australia, New Zealand and other places. If what was taught here was sub-standard, they would not have attained that feat. So people are free to say whatever they want.
“To say that the students are not of good quality is a very serious statement. These are students who have fulfilled the eligibility criteria for enrolment and that is it. We know there a quite a lot of challenges here and there. But nevertheless, they are good.”
