Gambiaj.com – (BANJUL, The Gambia) – President Adama Barrow has made notable changes to his cabinet after he accepted, today, the resignation of Honourable Haddy Jatou Sey, the Minister of Basic and Secondary Education. Minister Sey stepped down, citing personal reasons. The President expressed his gratitude for her dedicated service and extended his best wishes for her future endeavors.
Earlier today, the news broke that Haddy Jatou Sey resigned from her position less than six months after assuming office. Her resignation reportedly stems from her refusal to renounce her U.S. citizenship, according to sources close to the matter.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ismaila Ceesay, the Minister of Information, will manage the Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy until further notice.
