The African First Ladies Peace Mission on Friday in
Abuja, elected Mrs Sia Koroma, the First Lady of the
Republic of Sierra Leone, as its new President.

The election was held at the emergency 8th summit
of the organisation.

Koroma, who was represented by Prof. Khadija
Hamdi, the First Lady of the Saharawi Democratic
Republic, pledged to ensure improved living
conditions for the women and children of Africa.

The outgoing President of the Mission, Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, while handing over to the new president, said she would continue to render her support to the organisation.

She then handed over the Certificate of Occupancy of the land belonging to the organisation, located in
Abuja and the two bank accounts operated by
Mission.

Jonathan commended the Mission for being in the
vanguard of protecting the rights of women and
children on the continent.

She explained that under her leadership, the
organisation was guided by its objectives, including
building the culture of peace and development in
Africa.

She said that the Mission had offered support and
services to victims of conflict and had used appropriate mechanisms and institutions to protect
women and children in armed conflict countries.
According to her, the countries include Mali, Kenya,
Guinea Bissau and the Saharawi Democratic
Republic.

In his goodwill message, Prof. Nicholas Ada, the
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs I, lauded the
achievements of the Mission under Nigeria’s First
Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.

Recalling the euphoria that heralded the
establishment of the organisation in 1995, Ada said
it had justified its existence.

He said the organisation had rendered assistance to
people, especially women and children in conflict
areas.
