TAF Construction Ltd.

Construction & Real Estate

Banjul, Gambia

Mustapha Njie (commonly known as TAF ) was born in the West African State of The Gambia. He owns and manages Gambia 's leading indigenous and most successful construction company, TAF Construction Ltd., which was incorporated in January 1990. After over a decade of active and rewarding performance in the construction industry, TAF consolidated all TAF's operations into TAF Construction Ltd. 

Early success and unmatched  business performance allowed the company to compete for contracts with foreign competitors. Over time Taf added to its portfolio the wholesale and retail supply of building materials,  the building of large scale tourist accommodations and real estate development in The Gambia. After over 10 years of success the various arms of the business were consolidated under the new holding company.

The facilities and services delivered within the complex includes street lighting, an independent water supply, an almost uninterrupted electricity, tarmac laid streets, once weekly rubbish collection  and 24/7 security guards. This year (2008) will see the implementation of the 2nd phase of the housing scheme which should see the building of another 250 private residences for sale. Amenities will include dining establishments, a shopping centre and kiosks, children's playground, lawn tennis, a club with swimming pool and a major bank.
