Government of The Gambia to Waive the Controversial Airport Security Fee for all the OIC Delegates

The head of brand and communication at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Gambia Secretariat has announced that the government has waived the controversial airport security fee for all the OIC delegates coming for the Banjul Summit next month.

The $20 fee has attracted public criticism since it was introduced in 2018 but during a diplomatic and consular briefing yesterday, Nfally Fadera, responding to a question from one of the ambassadors, said: “The delegates will not pay airport fees. Government has placed a waiver on the airport fees for OIC delegates.”

He added: "As part of our hospitality also, the government is granting visa on arrival free of charge for all the people that are coming.”
