Gabriel Bangura, a second year law
student at the University of The Gambia (UTG), has emerged second at a recently
concluded speech competition held in Ghana, organised by the Inter-governmental
Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA).
The competition attracted participants
from four other universities in Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
It was centred on topics such as: the
impact of anti-money laundry and terrorist financing in West African economies
and the role of the youth in fighting terrorism, and what inter-governmental
organisations can do to prevent money laundry.
The competition was won by Nigeria
followed by The Gambia.
