He gave the assurance that he would not relent in his effort towards reaching out to other countries in the West African sub region.
He said: “I want to sincerely thank my colleagues present today for voting unanimously to have me elected as Secretary General of the West African Parliamentary Press Corps.”
“Let me assure you that going forward, I shall devote my time and energy towards driving the growth of the association, and as well ensuring that other countries in the sub region are brought on board,” he added.
