“This year’s meeting will also witness the participation of the Deputy Minister of Education of Sierra Leone, Mr Sarjoh Aziz Kamara, alongside two Vice-Chancellors from Sierra Leonean universities: Prof. Edwin Momoh, Vice-Chancellor of Ernest Bai Koroma University of Science and Technology, and Prof. Bashiru Koroma, Vice-Chancellor of Njala University.
