During these nineteen years, the translation of The Gambia's attainment of Independence into positive development has endeared patriotism to many at home and abroad. We shall continue the path to rapid and quality development, with religion being our guiding pillar. The ALMIGHTY ALLAH IS OUR SOLE Protector, Provider, Sustainer and above all, our SUPREME ATHORITY that we will only bow down to. With this ABIDING FAITH in THE SUPREMACY of the ALMIGHTY ALLAH, and placing our individual and collective destiny as a nation in THE HANDS OF OUR ALMIGHTY Creator, Our Government will not only consolidate these developments but achieve greater success and make giant strides in agriculture, trade, tourism, energy, petroleum and construction. We will continue to create the enabling environment for the development of the private sector as well, in view of its great potential to contribute significantly to sustainable economic growth, development and prosperity for all inhabitants of this great nation.
