It was an absolute honor to meet the Prime Minister of Senegal, H.E. Ousmane Sonko, during his visit to the Gambia yesterday. I am currently in the Gambia at the invitation of Mayor Talib Ahmed Bensouda, both as the Mayor of Freetown City Council, sister city to Kanifing Municipal Council, and in my capacity as C40 Cities Co-Chair. I was privileged to accompany the Gambian Vice President H. E. Muhammad B. S. Jallow, Mayor Talib Bensouda and other state officials on Prime Minister Sonko’s tour of the Senegalese school in the Gambia. Impressive to see pupils from 16 countries, mostly African, in their traditional costumes. And inspiring to hear Prime Minister Sonko encourage them to strive for excellence. Our young people are the future of Africa.
