The Chief of Defense Staff of the Gambia Armed Forces, Major General Yankuba Drammeh, has won the African Leadership Magazine’s Africa Peace & Security Leader of the Year 2022.
“H.E Yankuba Drammeh, Chief of Defense Staff, Gambia, emerges winner of the African Leadership Magazine, Africa Peace & Security Leader Of The Year 2022 in the just concluded 11th #ALMPOTY 2022 Polls,” African Leadership Magazine wrote on their Facebook page on Wednesday.
According to African Leadership Magazine, the award is Africa’s premier vote-based endorsement, reserved annually for the leading Africans who are contributing towards promoting the continent’s progress, and positively altering Africa’s perceived negative image.
The annual event has also become a platform for honouring people-centric leadership and Africans that are pursuing a pan-African agenda in their chosen fields of endeavour. This year’s event will provide a platform to celebrate the continent’s merchants of hope, ready to lead an army of change agents and reformers, to build an Africa that works for everyone.
