Whoever
said that University of The Gambia graduates or certificates are not recognised
internationally must be having a rethink these days.
Famara
Singhateh, a UTG law graduate, has bagged a coveted position as head of Gambia
Desk with A- Law firm in Brussels, Belgium.
His
areas of specialisation for his new employer are Gambian law on trade and
investment, banking and finance, insurance, commercial law and practices,
establishment or acquisition, license requests and public procurement policies
and regulations.
Barrister
Singhateh never travelled outside the shores of The Gambia for higher education
but stayed in The Gambia and obtained HTC from Gambia College, diploma in law
at GTTI and a Bachelor of Law degree at UTG.
He
further went on to obtain his Barrister at Law (BL) at Gambia Law School in
Banjul and from there he was admitted to Gambia Bar as a barrister and
solicitor of the Supreme Court of The Gambia.
Well
before his engagement with A-Law International Firm, Mr Singhateh worked for
FBN Bank Gambia Limited as the first country head, Legal Affairs, which came
after he served the same institution as country head, Human Resources and
Administration at the same time as the chief anti-money laundering officer.
Prior
to his stint with the bank, he worked in both insurance and education sectors
in The Gambia.
