The two committee members were accompanied by the Fullah Tribal Head, Western Area and the FPU President, Alhaji Sarjoh Jalloh and Umaru Sanu Barrie respectively.
Below is what the country's Vice President, Juldeh Jalloh posted (in verbatim) shortly after the meeting followed by some photos.
"Today, I met with the representatives of the Fulbe Diaspora who contributed to the rehabilitation of the Fullah Masjid in Freetown. I used the occasion to thank them and the entire Fulbe diaspora for their gesture. As I indicated, the Fullah Masjid is not only a place of worship for the Fullahs but a vivid representation of Fulbe resistance and learning in the 70’s. We owe it to our fathers and fore fathers to keep that edifice and protect its heritage. I am very proud of our Fulbe brothers and sisters that joined us in this noble endeavor. Onh Jarama."
