See the Igbo man who was the first Sierra Leonean president

Christopher Okoro Cole was a politician from Sierra Leone.

Seventy-five years ago, Okoro graduated from London University with a law degree. He then went on to practise private law in Sierra Leone, rising through the ranks to become Commissioner of Oaths, Judge of the Supreme Court of Sierra Leone, and Justice of Appeal.

Additionally, he represented Sierra Leone at the 1968 Vienna Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Law of Treaties, the Commonwealth and Empire Law Conference in 1965, and the World Peace through Law Conference in 1963.

When the Sierra Leonean republican constitution was finally adopted in the early 1971s, Okoro, an Igbo man, served as the country’s acting governor general before becoming the president of Sierra Leone on 19 March 1971, thus making history as the first president of Sierra Leone.
