IN SHORT

The General Manager of Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG) doesn’t like to toot
his own horn. Rather than talking about how he built such an impressive career brick by brick, Souleymane Traoré prefers to praise the exceptional talent of his teams on the ground – and also takes a moment to speak highly of the potential of Guinean students, who have a bright future ahead provided they follow his admonition and his mantra: “perseverance pays.”
