 Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr has welcomed the Lord Mayor of Kanifing Municipality, Ahmed Talib Bensouda and his delegation to Freetown.
In a weeklong visit the Freetown Mayor would play host to the mayor of Kanifing Municipality which is the largest municipality in The Gambia.
Mayor Bensouda’s week-long visit will provide opportunities for the team from Kanifing Muncipality to see #Transform Freetown at work and experience Freetown as well as share their achievements and challenges. This visit is an important step for the two municipalities to explore avenues to formalize and strengthen ties with each other.
Mayor Bensouda received a warm welcome from Freetown City Council councillors and staff, inspected a guard of honour by the Metropolitan Police and was presented with the “Key to the City of Freetown†by Mayor Aki-Sawyerr.
