Addressing reporters at the State House, the Liberian Chief Executive spoke of the fatherly figure that President Nguesso has been to him. He said as a young leader of Africa's oldest independent country,   working in a cooperative and collaborative manner with the older generation of the continent's leaders, the likes of Nguesso, is an opportunity for him to share his experience and get critical insight.
