One of the country’s prolific poets, Omar Champion Cham, has bagged his bachelor’s degree in law from the University of The Gambia, following the UTG convocation that was held on Saturday at the QCity arena.

After years of struggles and hardship, Cham graduated with honors, which he dedicates to all the deprived and disadvantaged young people.

“Alhamdulillah, thank you Ya Allah for this gift. To all the people that supported, especially discreetly, thank you so much and may Allah bless your kind heart,” he stated.

“I dedicate this to all the young people coming from disadvantaged backgrounds unhopeful of making it through education.

 Further, he urged his fellow young people not to give up or relent, saying: “You will rise above the obstacles and I promise you that the world will hear your story. No matter how much you’re going through, learn to accommodate the spirit of changing lives, volunteering to create impact and putting on a smile.”

Concluding, he urged his fellows to find strength in their endurance and dedication to service.

“Be the light to the dark even if no light is shining on you. You can be the light or the source,” he said.
