New President of The Gambia, Adama Barrow, has reintroduced Friday as working days scrapping the four-day week introduced by his predecessor Yahya Jammeh.

In a statement Adama Barrow said that public sector employees would now have to work a half-day on Fridays too.

Chief, in the UAE, Fridays are holidays while Sundays are the work days.

In jammeh's case, Gambians work 4 days and are off 3 days.

my bro I get, but Gambia no make dia SUNDAY a work day, hence lower productivity and income (underutilised), it is allowed in UAE because it is a predominantly Muslim state and they made their Sundays working days (unlike gambia), if given the chance, buhari would do same thing UAE is doing even as Nigeria is not predominantly Muslim. U going for the protest?

chief. the Gambia is 90% Muslim but i understand your point. for a poor country, it makes no sense to be on holiday 3 out 7 days every week.

but hold up. keys bring this closer home. Is this not similar to what okorocha is currently doing in imo stste?
