Sheihk Tijan:
I am so saddened to have learnt of the passing away of Professor Joof. I
myself did not know Prof Joof, but his bright Sierra Leonean wife, Professor
Amy Joof of Fourah Bay College, has just spent a month here, as a visiting
professor, at the Centre of West African Studies, where I met her; and being
West Africans, naturally, we developed a very good working relationship. She
also became a mother figure to me, giving me advice and direction when
appropriate.
I hereby extend my deepest condolences to my mother, Prof Amy Joof, and the
rest of the bereaved family, on this sad loss. May his soul rest in peace.
