Big names are lined up to grace the historic
FELMAUSA inauguration in Newark, New Jersey. One
of Liberia’s finest and dedicated medical
doctors, Adama Sirleaf has been confirmed as the
keynote speaker.
Now latest reports have it that Liberia’s
youngest Bureau of Maritime Commissioner Binyah
Kesselly will serve as the installing officer.
V/President-Elect Mohammed Kromah said the
Commissioner has confirmed he would be at the
ceremony in the commercial city of Newark, New
Jersey to perform the task as assigned which is
to administer the oath of office.
Another big name include Dr. Akil Kokayi
Khalfani, who is Director of the
Africana Institute, Acting Director of the Urban
Issues Institute, and Associate Professor of
Sociology at Essex County College. He is
President and Founder of ATIRA Corp, a Think
Tank that develops solutions for the problems
that people of African descent face globally. He
is a motivational speaker and author who excites
audiences all around. He serves on the Executive
Council for the Pan-Afrakan Kash Kmt Mdw Ntchr
Outreach Society.
Dr. Khalfani is expected to address
the FELMAUSA discussion session on Friday.
President-Elect Mohammed Dukuly, Vice
President-Elect Mohammed Kromah, Secretary
General-Elect Phamolie Morris Kromah and Vice
President for Operation-Elect Joseph Sackor will
officially take their seats as the next new
leaders of the noble Federation.
Board Chairman-Elect Abraham Kromah will also be
inducted at the ceremony.
Organizers say, hundreds of invited guests are
expected to throng the historic event.
There are also reports that the various women
groups in the Philadelphia, New Jersey and New
York areas have launched a major shopping spree
to acquire some of the finest and most expensive
African attires to bluff each other.
One source hinted FELMAUSA news that the
competition among these women is heated.
FELMAUSA News has also been informed that the
inaugural committee has begun identifying some
of the best cultural troupes in town to mystify
the audience with superb cultural performances.
Already, Liberia’s art and cultural sensation
Malawala Balawala will be there to do their
thang as well. “The town is getting all the
attention right now because of FELMAUSA
inauguration,” a die-hard admirer of FELMAUSA
residing in Monrovia told FELMAUSA News
yesterday.
He returned from the United States recently and
was impressed about the organization of the
entire inaugural feast.
