“As a Cabinet Minister in the first Republic, he held various portfolios, including Information and Tourism, Education, Youth, Sports and Culture, Finance, and Works and Communication.”
“His leadership and vision helped shape the nation's policies and programs, earning him the respect and admiration of his peers and his people,” Hassan Gibril said.
“One of his most notable achievements was the introduction of Oustasses (Qur'anic teachers) into the formal school system, a move that helped bridge the gap between traditional and modern education.”
“His commitment to education and youth development was evident in his passionate advocacy for the empowerment of young Gambians.”
“Moreover, he was the longest serving President of the Gambia Football Association (1966 - 1977).”
“As a founding father of The Gambia, M.C. Cham's legacy extends beyond his Ministerial roles.”
