1. During a meeting with Ambassador Walkley in Sao Tome and
Principe last week, Carlos Gomes said he will be traveling to
Libreville March 5 to be "sworn in" as Executive Secretary of
the Gulf of Guinea Commission (GGC) by President Omar Bongo.
He plans to arrive in Luanda in early April and hopes to have
the GGC Secretariat operating "before the end of April."
2 Gomes will have two Deputy Executive Secretaries:one from
Nigeria (Ambassador Florentina Adenike Uonga) and one from
Equatorial Guinea (not yet naed). In addition, there are to
be two Directors one from Gabon (responsible for
Administration)and one from Cameroon (responsible for
Finance);neither has apparently yet been named. Gomes's term
is for three years (with the possibility of one renewal).
3. Angola is providing funding, office space and housing for
the first year. The GGC offices will initially be one floor
of a former Banco Espirito Santo building. Housing is five
condos in the Talatona area of Luanda. One of Gomes's first
responsibilities will be to establish a formula for the
funding of the GGC after the first year.
