Liberia's revered international cultural icon, Princess Fatu Gayflor, has met with President Joseph Nyumah Boakai to congratulate him on his election to the nation's highest seat.

The Executive Mansion said through a press release that the meeting was held on Tuesday, 2 April 2024, at the Executive Mansion in Monrovia.

"She paid a courtesy call to the President to congratulate him on his election and make it known that she fully supports his Government's agenda on culture and tourism," the Executive Mansion said.

President Boakai assured the gifted Liberian Singer and the Liberian people of his unwavering commitment to uplifting the country's cultural endowments and boosting its hospitality industry.

Accompanying Princess Fatu Gayflor on her visit with the President were Mr. Kekura M. Kamara, the well-known character Malawala-Balawala of the erstwhile Flomo Theater Show, and Mr. Kollie N. Ballah, son of the late Peter Ballah (Flomo) also of the Peter Ballah Show.--Press release
