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

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.

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!
