POSTPONEMENT OF THE PROPOSED AFRICAN LIBERATION DAY CELEBRATION

ISSUED DATE:1/06/2023

In relation to the missive sent earlier on the proposed celebration of African Liberation Day on Friday 2nd June, has been cancelled. This development came shortly from the Taskforce where certain Logistical issues had made it difficult to observe the day as proposed. On that note, the new date for the event is scheduled for 17th June, 2023 at Law Faculty in Kanifing.

We understand that, the day falls on exam week, but the program would not last more than three hours. We therefore implore all UTG students and members of the history society to mark the date on their calendar and be in attendance.

We regret for any inconvenience it may caused...
