The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (Pura) of The Gambia, in partnership with Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) and the National Communications Authority (NatCA) of Sierra Leone, has established a free-roaming agreement to eliminate cross-border telecom charges and enhance regional connectivity. The agreement, which aligns with Ecowas regulations, will be implemented in phases starting from 2nd May, 2025, allowing mobile users across The Gambia, Liberia, and Sierra Leone to communicate without incurring roaming fees. This initiative is part of a broader effort to foster economic growth and seamless communication for the region's 16 million residents.

Essa Bokarr Sey, former ambassador and deputy chief executive officer of the OIC Gambia Secretariat, has publicly declared his opposition to any third term for incumbent president, Adama Barrow. Sey, who previously served as The Gambia’s ambassador in Taiwan and the US, voiced concerns that term limit manipulations and constitution tampering are key causes of conflict and political instability in West Africa.
