Arts and Culture officials gave motorbikes to workers at Wassu Stone Circles and Mungo Park Memorial sites. Hassoum Ceesay runs the National Centre for Arts and Culture and spoke at the handover ceremony. Workers need better transportation to check heritage locations and talk with local communities. Officials plan to give motorbikes to other historic places like Kerr Batch Stones and Musa Molloh Memorial Tomb. The program helps staff protect important cultural landmarks across Gambia.

Staff members must travel constantly to watch for bushfires and flooding at heritage sites. Africell Gambia Limited helped fund the motorbike project for field workers. Better transportation allows employees to reach visitors and school groups more easily. Student visits have doubled at the Mungo Park Memorial site recently. The motorbike arrived at the perfect time to handle growing visitor numbers.

Heritage protection requires constant movement between different cultural locations around the country. Site attendants can respond faster to emergencies and routine maintenance problems. Local communities learn more about their history when staff can visit villages regularly. International tourists benefit from improved access and better guided tours. The motorbike program strengthens efforts to preserve Gambian cultural treasures for future generations.
