Honoured to address the #ILC113 in Geneva! Sierra Leone is committed to tackling informality - over 80% of our workforce through social protection, tech innovation & strong labour standards. Together, let’s build a future of decent, inclusive work for all. #DecentWork

From farms to agri-business, the sector holds the key to youth employment, food security, and economic transformation. 🇸🇱

Thank you, Your Excellency @FirstLadyBio, for your unwavering advocacy and grace.
Your recognition by the @SIerraLabourCongress reminded us all that behind every policy and reform, there must be compassion and purpose.

Last night, I had the honor of attending the National Labour Dinner and Awards Night at the Bintumani Hotel in Freetown. The event brought together workers from all walks of life to celebrate their vital contributions to our nation’s progress.
I was humbled to receive an award in recognition of my continued advocacy for the rights and welfare of workers. It was a powerful reminder of the need to keep standing for those who keep our country moving.
I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to the Ministry of Labour for organising such a meaningful event. I also appreciate all Sierra Leoneans, at home and abroad, for their trust in my husband’s leadership.
As we move forward, I encourage everyone to remain united; together we can build a stronger and more prosperous nation.

📢 Yesterday, H.E. @PresidentBio closed our historic #NationalLabourConference with a powerful commitment:
“No worker will be left behind.”
I’m proud to be part of a government that’s turning the #BigFiveAgenda into real action for workers across Sierra Leone.
#WorkersDay2025
Today, we honour the dignity of labour and the resilience of #SierraLeonean workers. As we shape the #FutureOfWork, let us harness technology - not to replace workers, but to empower them with skills, protection & opportunity. #WorkersDay2025@julius_maadabio

The National Labour Conference provides a platform for employers, employees, government policymakers, unions, and other actors to openly discuss labour-related and social issues that contribute to rights-based human mobility and sustainable national development in 🇸🇱.
🎉 Are you ready for the May Day celebrations? 🎉
As part of the 3-day National Labour Conference, we’re celebrating workers across Sierra Leone in grand style — and His Excellency the President @julius_maadabio will be joining us! 🇸🇱
Come out and be part of history!
As we gear up for the May Day celebrations, I had an inspiring meeting with the executive of the Sierra Leone Labour Congress. Our conversation was filled with enthusiasm as we discussed the forward-thinking reforms we’ve implemented in our labour laws.
I am truly optimistic about the positive changes we are making to ensure better protection for our workers. I can’t wait to join everyone in celebrating their hard work and dedication on the 1st of May! Let’s make it a memorable day for all our incredible workers!
Under the leadership of @julius_maadabio , we are redefining labour in Sierra Leone. From outdated systems to inclusive, tech-driven policies—Labour is no longer reactive, it’s visionary. The future of work is here. Let’s build it together.
— Hon. Mohamed R. Swaray
