The President of Sierra Leone, Juluis Maada Bio has disclosed that his country will miss the outgoing Nigeria’s High Commissioner, Henry John Omaku.
He made the disclosure when the High Commissioner paid him a courtesy call to formally notify him of his departure from the country after his tour of duty.
According to President Bio, who is a retired Brigadier, “I am saddened about your sudden departure, because you have contributed in advancing both bilateral and multilateral cooperation between Nigeria and the Republic of Sierra Leone in particular and the World in general.
“Diplomat, you will be leaving behind a very big vacuum as you end your tour of duty and I hope your successor will build on your sterling achievements,” President Bio said.
In his response, High Commissioner Omaku said, “I come to the presidential palace to formally notify you and bid you farewell at the end of my successful tour of duty as a Diplomat from Nigeria to Sierra Leone.”
Similarly, the Diplomat who holds the traditional title of Adagba Nyaku Gi-Doma in Doma Chiefdom of Nasarawa State said Sierra Leone maintains a high level of religious tolerance despite the fact that Muslims are the majority, they don’t segregate, they are peace-loving people.
He disclosed that the citizens like consuming a meal mixed with cassava leaves.
He said there are over three thousand registered Nigerians living in Sierra Leone.
On his plan when he settles down in Nigeria, the Diplomat said, “As a public servant, a business and now a Diplomat, I have gained more experience at the global level for me to continue making more developmental sacrifices for national and international upliftment.”
The Diplomat called on Nigerians to respect each other irrespective of class and background to support the Renewed Hope Initiative of President Bola Tinubu’s administration for the betterment of beloved country, Nigeria.
Ambassador Omaku was assigned by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2020 as Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the Republic of Sierra Leone.
