[AFRI-Discuss] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2020 ALAC, RALO AND ALAC DELEGATES TO THE NOMCOM

Thu Apr 30 17:13:06 UTC 2020

Dear Tijani,

I salute your bold decision for allowing the younger and newer generations
you have groomed to take up from where you left your legacy in standing
ovation.
I personally have benefited from your engagements and outreach. More
recently, I remember our last AFRALO outreach together in Kampala during
the AIS.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Caleb Ogundele
