PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE No Y2K problems in the Gambia It has come to the notice of The Gambia National Taskforce on Y2K that the British Broadcasting Corporation and other media houses on 2 January 2000 reported wide-ranging Y2K problems in The Gambia. These reports are erroneous in the extreme. The National Command Centre of the National Y2K taskforce hereby declare that the central bank, the energy, telecommunications, financial, transportation and government sectors have not reported any Y2K related problems as indicated in the reports. These reports may have been due to a misinterpretation of information posted on the website of the International Y2K Co-operation Centre in Washington. We want to reassure the international community that The Gambia, which has been working on the issue for several years now, has so far not experienced any Y2K related problems in any given sector.
