In a stunning triumph, a young Gambian business has fulfilled its first significant contract by acquiring 26 brand-new cars for Nawec, valued at over D100 million.
After winning the competitive bid, The Gambiago, or just Gamgo, delivered the Toyota Hilux and Land Cruiser pick-up cars at a handing-over ceremony held at its headquarters on Friday.
The successful execution of the Nawec contract, according to Saibo Manneh, CEO of Gamgo, is an accomplishment that goes beyond simply completing a contract because it also demonstrates what Gambian businesses can accomplish when given the opportunity to take the lead.
He said to the audience, which included top management from Nawec, heads of public and private institutions, Gamgo employees, and well-wishers, “Our decision to pre-finance this project, with a total investment exceeding 100 million dalasis, was bold, but it reflected our belief in our team, our capacity, and our vision for excellence.”
In keeping with their promise to surpass expectations, Mr. Manneh disclosed that Gamgo actually delivered the newest 2024 models of the cars rather than the 2021 models that Nawec had originally planned.
He expressed gratitude to Nawec’s leadership for their trust in his business. Camara also gave his team credit for their hard work.
Galo Saidy, Nawec’s managing director, congratulated Gamgo upon receiving the vehicles and commended the company’s dedication, which was demonstrated by its choice to pre-finance the contract.
“They took the chance and brought the cars to our yard even though we were meant to give them money before they started. Therefore, I have no regrets at all and am very grateful to them for getting the job,” MD Saidy stated.
Gamgo Company Limited was founded in 2018 to close the gap between institutions and their “never-ending needs,” according to general manager Muhammad Mbye. He said that the Nawec contract’s success served as a springboard for their upcoming phase, solidifying Gamgo’s reputation and its “unique ways” of conducting business in both The Gambia and the wider world.
“We are a collection of people united by nationalism and the desire to see The Gambia on the international stage,” he stated. A test drive of the cars, entertainment and a tour of the stunning Gamgo offices at the Hendon Court Building (formerly Dream Park), Senegambia, rounded out the event.
