“Welcome back to GPA,” he told the staff, adding that he was prepared to “take the risk” to ensure that workers regain their rights and that operations continue smoothly.
He urged the staff to resume normal duties, while clarifying that the existing concession agreement with Alport remains in force regarding operational management.
According to him, while Alport will continue to provide operational instructions as stipulated in the agreement, all human resource and administrative functions will now revert to GPA oversight.
“Human resource and staff matters are all still the Gambia Ports Authority and not Alport,” Jobarteh said, stressing that GPA retains authority over staffing decisions.
