[Poncelet Ileleji]

Thanks Joly,

Highly appreciated for sharing our National IGF in the smiling coast of The
Gambia, been a very successful first day indeed. We look forward to a
successful day 2 and our final communique that will feed into the West
African IGF.

Happy 4th of July to those stateside too.

Kind Regards

Poncelet
