On December 11, I was one of the guests of honour and recipients of awards on the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Statistique et d’Economie Appliquée (Ensea) in Abijan, Côte d’Ivoire.
It was a great reunion after almost three years without visiting Ensea and Yamoussoukro, the capital of Côte d’Ivoire, where Nana Ja of Jakrou inaugurated me as his co-chief of Jakrou in 2015, where we held the Third Ministerial Summit on Civil Registration and Vital Statistics.
After he tried several times to meet me at the margins of successive United Nations Statistical Commissions in New York, I finally met Professor Koffi N’guessan in July of 2007 at Ensea.
