    Alhamdullilah and congratulations Dr Baba Galleh.

    We met a few years ago during the trials and tribulations in Silver spring Md at an event when you were doing your studies for masters and PhD.

    Please do your job with fairness and due diligence and without prejudicial bias and fear of Allah (GOD).
    Good luck and we make dua for your protection and guidance to the right decisions if necessary for the benefit of the Gambian people with the interests of our nation in heart.
