Olufemi Jr Banjul, the Gambia Let's face it.
Gambian journalists are very important in the social fabric.
They played a pivotal role in the transition period. Surely, most pen-pushers must have been sent reeling when the head of state himself, Lt. He engaged with Radio Gambia as News Editor and Broadcasting Officer before being appointed Director of Information and Broadcasting. He had spells with Pan African News Agency in Lagos and Dakar where he was the anchorman of the English section and edited the staff liaison bulletin, PANA Forum. He came home in 1991 and a year later set up his own newspaper the News and Report.
