Fatou Saine Gaye has been elected chairperson of the National Association of Vocational and Skills Training Institutes following a delayed annual general meeting at GTMI Hall in Bakau. The vote caps a transitional period during which outgoing leader Abdoulie Sowe helped secure legal recognition for the group, established banking services, and negotiated partnerships that yielded office space and professional development programs. However, Treasurer Muhammed Fofana revealed that member engagement remains weak, with inconsistent dues payments leaving the association dependent on external funding despite holding approximately D420,000 in reserves.

Sowe's tenure saw successful advocacy that reduced accreditation deposit fees for domestic training providers, yet participation gaps continue to undermine organizational strength. Members voiced optimism that fresh leadership under Gaye will energize operations and enforce stricter accountability measures. The new chairperson pledged to build on existing achievements while fostering unity across the vocational training sector.
