Representing HE President Julius Maada Bio at the Simandou Mining and Logistics Summit in Conakry, Guinea, I conveyed Sierra Leone’s congratulations to HE President Mamadi Doumbouya and the Government and people of Guinea on this historic achievement. I reaffirmed Sierra Leone’s commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation with Guinea, particularly in mining, transport infrastructure, regional connectivity and economic integration.

A historic milestone in Sierra Leone–Russia relations! 🇸🇱🇷🇺 At the Third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, I signed a landmark MoU with the Russian Federation on transport cooperation, opening new opportunities in aviation, logistics, infrastructure and connectivity. This partnership advances President Bio’s vision of economic growth, investment and national development through strategic international cooperation. Thank you @julius_maadabio @LeoneMoscow
Today, under the visionary leadership of H.E. Bio, we officially launched the Sierra Leone Ocean Shipping Company (SLOSCo), a strategic partnership advancing Sierra Leone’s participation in international shipping. This milestone creates opportunities for investment, local participation, skills development and economic growth. Our transport reforms continue to deliver!
Today, we signed contracts for the construction of four climate-resilient bridges in Komrabai, Kabba , Sumbuya and Moselolo under the US$74 million SL-CAMIP project. 🙏WBG SL. This is a major step towards improving rural connectivity, supporting farmers, reducing transport costs and creating economic opportunities. Under the leadership of H.E. Bio, we remain committed to infrastructure that transforms lives and strengthens national development and connecting communities.
At the Blue Africa Conference in Nigeria, I reaffirmed Sierra Leone’s commitment to transforming our oceans, ports, fisheries and maritime resources into engines of sustainable growth, jobs and prosperity. We must move from potential to production, policy to implementation, and raw resources to African value. The ocean that separates our shores must become the highway that connects our prosperity. #BlueAfrica #BlueEconomy #SierraLeone
A historic milestone for Sierra Leone’s maritime sector! Parliament has ratified the Joint Venture Agreement between the Sierra Leone National Shipping Agency (SLNSA) and Zhejiang Xiehai Group Co. Ltd., paving the way for the establishment of the Sierra Leone Ocean Shipping Company (SLOSCo). This marks a bold step towards operationalising our National Carrier, creating jobs, attracting investment, strengthening maritime capacity, and ensuring SL captures greater value from its own trade.
Today marks a historic milestone as SL sings a Joint Venture Agreement to establish the Sierra Leone Ocean Shipping Company (SLOSCo), reviving our National Carrier through a strategic partnership with no financial burden on Government. This initiative will create jobs, strengthen maritime skills, boost trade, attract investment, and position SL as a competitive maritime hub in West Africa. We are charting a new course for sustainable growth and prosperity.

As I conclude my tenure as Chancellor of the Regional Maritime University, Ghana, I leave proud of what we achieved together: expanded membership, stronger governance, improved infrastructure, record enrolment, financial stability, increased female participation, and stronger global partnerships. My sincere gratitude to all Member States for their trust and collaboration. Together, we have built a stronger RMU for the future.
Proud to bring development to Sunga and Madopolahun, two communities near the Liberia border in Eastern Sierra Leone. We commissioned a solar-powered mosque, provided clean drinking water through a new borehole, and, thanks to Africell, secured mobile network coverage for the entire community. My thanks and appreciation to HE Bio, my family, friends, colleagues, relatives and the entire Sunga and Madopolahun communities for their financial and moral support. No community is too remote for development. 🇸🇱

Today, I had the privilege of giving back to the primary school that laid the foundation for my journey decades ago. As part of this contribution, I refurbished existing structures, constructed new facilities, donated a school bus, provided soccer kits, established a computer lab, and donated 10 laptops. Education transformed my life, and I remain committed to supporting the next generation of SLs. May these investments inspire our children to dream bigger and achieve even greater things. 🇸🇱
