President Barrow says his government turned around the electricity fortunes of GB area after finding it in a nightmare state

President Adama Barrow has said electricity in Greater Banjul area was a nightmare three years ago.

The country’s electricity was in a sorry state when President Barrow took office nearly four years ago.

“You will recall that barely three years ago, electricity supply was a nightmare in the Greater Banjul Area, and did not exist at all in most parts of the country,” President Barrow looking back on those difficult years said while presiding over the inauguration of the Kiang electricity project.

The president then said: “Today, we are able to provide a reliable supply of electricity in most parts of the Greater Banjul Area and in many other areas of the country.”
