Affairs, who received the items on behalf of Government, commended the
trio and called on other institutions to emulate their gesture.

in Sierra Leone,” he added.

Commissioner to Ghana, applauded the institutions for the support and
said Ghana had remained committed to deepening the bilaterally relations
