President Joseph Nyuma Boakai recently visited Kenema, Sierra Leone, where he reflected on his formative years in the city. As a former student of Kenema Secondary School, President Boakai joined the Kenema Old Students Association (KOSA) to celebrate his connection to the institution and community.
Dressed in the association's colors, President Boakai stood with fellow members, recalling memories from his time as a student. His experiences in Kenema contributed significantly to his character development and academic foundation, which eventually led him into public service and leadership.
The visit to Sierra Leone was part of a broader effort to strengthen diplomatic and cultural ties between Liberia and Sierra Leone. The stopover in Kenema was particularly meaningful for President Boakai as he reunited with old friends and honored the legacy of the school that influenced his early development.
The visit highlighted education's impact on personal growth and community connections.
