The celebration is Liberia’s 161st independence Anniversary.

A statement signed by Aide to the former President Kofi Adams says the invitation was in recognition of the president’s personal efforts in ensuring peace in the country, during his reign as President, and Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States.(ECOWAS).

While in Liberia the former first lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings is expected to address a Women’s group.
