President Bio Wins American University Global Leader Alumni Award

President Julius Maada Bio has named as the American University Global Alumni Leader Award winner for 2023.

“The Global Alumni Leader Award honors alumni whose substantial impacts on society exemplify AU’s tradition of service and leadership in the context of a global community,” the University said.

Bio will receive the award together with Dr. Dambisa Moyo, Member in the British House of Lords. Moyo is also the Baroness of Knightsbridge and has a vast experience in the public sector.

“Thank you American University for this honour. I join the other awardees in commending American University for its legacy of academic excellence. I look forward to the event on May 18, 2023,” President Bio reacted on Twitter hours after the winner was announced by the University.

Other categories of awards include the Neil Kerwin Alumni Achievement Award, Alumni Recognition Award and Alumni Eagle Award.

The American University is Methodist-affiliated institution that was chartered by the US Congress in 1893. It is located in Washington DC but operates a number of schools in and out of the US.

It is ranked as the 72nd best university in the US with over 14,000 students.

“American University alumni are change makers in their communities and leaders in their fields,” the University Alumni said.

This is the type of leader, some parts of our country because of their respective political beliefs are condemning him from day one. The in fact said,he is not going to win,he will not take one year in power,he has cancer,he has told the military to overthrow his government and Manny more. The amount of awesome award international communities have awarded him it's quite numerous. Sierra Leone it's collective approach, otherwise,one man can't make a change,even if,he does will not be formidable.
