Two student associations of the University of The Gambia, UTG, this week announced plans to embark on an awareness tour that seeks to end poverty.
UTG’s Social Sciences and Humanities Students’ Association, SoSHSA,
and the Science Students’ Association, SSA, said the nationwide tour begins May
27 this year on the topic “Education to end poverty”.
It is aimed at creating awareness among students, particularly those
in Upper River and North Bank regions through teaching, sensitization, and
community services.
The chairperson of the tour-organizing committee Omar Jallow said the travel
around the country is meant “to help broaden the intellectual scope” of UTG
students on fundamental issues relevant to the alleviation of poverty in our
communities”.
