In 1975 Gambia formed an independent National Spiritual Assembly, and the jurisdiction of the Assembly of Upper West Africa was changed to comprise of Senegal, Mauritania, Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands.[2] Although initially the name Upper West Africa was kept, the Assembly was renamed the National Spiritual Assembly of Senegal shortly after the change in jurisdiction.[3]
