A unique opportunity to dine, chit-chat and most of all learn from the simplicity of our visionary leaders. Priceless !
Having our new @CGIAR_EMD Ismahane Elouafi at @IITA_CGIAR in Ibadan, Nigeria was like hosting a movie celebrity. Everybody wanted to take a group photo with her!
During the welcome dinner, she wore a "gele", the traditional Nigerian/West African head tie popular among Yorubas.
