The Minister of Basic and Secondary Education has said authorities at Muslim High School are aware of a plan to relocate the school.
Claudiana Cole appearing before Gambian lawmakers on Wednesday said the 44-year-old high school is lined for relocation amid an expansion project by Gambia Ports Authority.
“…this [relocation] was communicated to them [Muslim High School officials]. At the momen, we want to wait to hear from the GPA and the Banjul Muslim elders so that we know exactly where we’re going and what would be expected of us.
“What we are avoiding at this moment is to do any capital investment in that school by way of maintenance so that we don’t waste funds,” Minister Cole said.
Muslim High School was founded in 1975 and some of the people who attended the school include President Adama Barrow and former interior minister Mai Ahmad Fatty.
