(1)Scott lists the two stamps of 13 October 1971 as honoring "Joseph Dakiri (1938-1971), inaugurator of the Army-Aid-to-Agriculture Program", while Stanley Gibbons just says "Dakiri Project". Oddly, there seems not to be any online references mentioning either the person or the project, although there is a town named Dakiri. The stamps themselves depict an individual, mention the surname, and the 1938-1971 dates.
