Sierra Leone’s Vice President, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, has arrived in Lagos, Nigeria, ahead of his scheduled convocation lecture at the University of Ibadan on Monday, 16 November 2026.
The Vice President announced his arrival in a social media post on Saturday, 14 November, expressing appreciation for the warm reception extended to him by the Lagos State Government.
“What a welcome! I arrived in Lagos today, where I was received by the Lagos State Government with the warmth and hospitality I’ve come to love about Nigeria,” he wrote.
Dr. Jalloh is expected to travel from Lagos to the University of Ibadan, his alma mater, where he will deliver this year’s convocation lecture.
The visit marks a return to an institution where the Sierra Leonean Vice President pursued part of his academic education, this time as a guest lecturer addressing the university community.
His participation in the convocation programme also highlights the longstanding educational and diplomatic ties between Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
The University of Ibadan is one of Nigeria’s leading higher education institutions and has educated several prominent African professionals, academics and public officials.
The Vice President has not yet disclosed the subject of his scheduled lecture.
