As part of their efforts in strenghtening the relationship between the peoples of the two countries, Zayad Abul Gism, the Education and Imformation Officer at the Libyan Embassy in The Gambia, has vowed to boost the educational sector by providing scholarship for Gambians to study in Libya.

Mr Abul Gism made this remark during an exclusive interview with the Daily Observer at his office, situated at Alantic Road, Fajara. He revealed that they have plans ahead to work with the Gambian people in capacity building, more specifically on the area of education.

Mr Gism further reiterated that the relationship between the two peoples is indeed cordial, adding that, it is gradually improving day by day. According to him, already four Gambians were pursuing courses in Libya, two of whom he said were doing their Masters degree and the other two on their final courses. "Not withstanding this, he added, "there are some packages for ten Arabic Teachers to attend a two weeks intensive course, specifically on Arabic language." This, he went on, is complement of the previous assistance meant to complement government efforts.
