He entered the Gambian Government in 1970, taking a break to study Political Science and Economics at Rust College, followed by postgraduate studies at Glasgow Caledonian University.[2] He reentered the civil service in 1978, serving in several ministries, including local government and education.[1] In 1983, he had a daughter, Fatim Badjie, who is also a Gambian politician.[3]
