The President of The Gambia has approved the renaming of the country’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy to the Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mines (MOPEM).
A statement issued by the Ministry said the inclusion of mining is part of a broader strategy to enhance the Ministry’s capacity to oversee and support the growing importance of the mining sector alongside its longstanding responsibilities in the Petroleum and Energy sectors.
By this notice, the general public is also notified that the name change has been gazetted by the Ministry of Justice.
“We thank the general public for their continued support. As we move forward under our new name, we remain dedicated to serving the nation with transparency and dedication to our mandate,” it said.
