Always a pleasure to visit my brother, His Excellency Dr. Julius Maada Bio, President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, and enjoy his gracious hospitality at the State House in Freetown, as I did on Tuesday.
I am equally grateful to Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Sierra Leone, Ambassador Ayo Luther Ogbomode, mni, the officials of the Nigerian High Commission, and Sierra Leone’s Minister of Public Administration and Political Affairs, Mr. Amara Kallon, for their warm reception at the airport.-GEJ
