SPAIN OFFERS 6 MILION EUROS TO CURB ILLEGAL MIGRATIONBy Bubacarr K Sowe
The Spanish government has offered a grant of six million Euros to the Gambia for the development of its manpower the foreign Affairs Department revealed on Tuesday.
This development arose on Monday, after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Spanish Foreign Minister, Miguel Morapinos and his Gambian Counterpart Lamin Kaba Bajo.
In an interview with Foroyaa on Tuesday, William Joof Permanent Secretary at the Foreign Affairs Department said that the agreement is a general framework relating to technical assistance in the field of manpower, agriculture and the control of illegal migration.
Mr. Joof said that the six million Euros grant will be used in the creation for skills centers, training for young people and provision of employment. "The Gambia will act as a responsible sovereign state, ensuring that her territory is not used by people who exploit innocent young people who end up drowning in seas and putting their families in dispel," he said.
The agreement, he said makes provision for mechanisms that will make Gambians migrate legally and work legally in Spain.
