Liberia was host to its first major international conference in 30 years and it had to be an aviation conference. Yours truly was in Monrovia recently as Nigeria, Cape Verde, Guinea, Liberia, Gambia and Ghana met for five days from the 22nd October to deliberate on ways and means of improving aviation safety across the West African sub region. One could not help but be impressed at the commitment of Liberia despite its obvious challenges to upgrade its aviation sector as well as host an outstanding conference. By the way the Banjul Accord Group is an association of West African countries determined to boost aviation safety to international levels and speed up air transport liberalisation in the sub region. here are some pictures
