@FirstLadyBio Her majesty queen Fatima Maada Jabbie Bio, thank you for making us proud 👏

I had the honor of delivering the Keynote address at the Sierra Leone–Canada Trade, Investment and Cultural Show 2025, in Toronto. Standing before global leaders, investors, our vibrant diaspora and Canadian partners, I spoke not only as the First Lady of Sierra Leone, but as a daughter of Africa, a global citizen, and an advocate for dignity, opportunity, and progress. In my address, I emphasized that Sierra Leone is a nation on the rise—resilient, resourceful, and ready. Guided by the leadership of His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio, our "Five Big Game Changers" are driving bold reforms that create the right climate for investment, innovation, and sustainable growth. Sierra Leone is not only open for business but open for transformative partnerships that empower women and the youth, foster innovation, and unlock opportunities across key sectors, with our people’s resilience and creativity as our greatest asset. I also celebrated the Sierra Leonean diaspora as true ambassadors of our nation, whose expertise and networks are invaluable to our development journey. Beyond trade and investment, I emphasized that culture is the soul of Sierra Leone. Our music, fashion, cuisine, and arts are not only entertainment but powerful instruments of diplomacy, identity, and pride. Together with our Canadian partners and Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad, we will build bridges of trade, culture, and shared prosperity, bridges that will define a new era of opportunity for Sierra Leone.

Our regional bloc has consistently championed peace, unity, and shared prosperity for all our citizens. As chairperson of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, I had a highly productive engagement with His Excellency Ibrahim Traoré, President of the Transition of Burkina Faso. We are steadfast in our commitment to maintain an ongoing dialogue as we decisively work to strengthen our West African region for the prosperity of our people.

I want to thank President Ibrahim Traoré, President of the Transition of Burkina Faso, and the people of Burkina Faso for their warm hospitality. ECOWAS has always played a significant role in promoting peace, security, and economic prosperity across our nations. I eagerly anticipate continued collaboration with our brothers in Burkina Faso as we strive to uphold these important shared values together. @ecowas_cedeao

@yakisawyerr The Public want Freetown to be divided. 85% survey were in favour.

I am pleased to inform Freetonians that the Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs will be holding a #PublicConsultation on the proposed plans to divide Freetown into two cities with two local councils. The public consultation will be held at the Freetown City Council Auditorium on Thursday 18th September at 10am and I encourage Freetonians to attend. Ahead of the public consultation, I am re-sharing the open letter that I wrote to the Minister of Local Government and Community Affairs on 3rd June 2025. At the date of the letter and as stated therein, Freetown City Council had not received any of its 2025 budget allocations for devolved functions. Kindly note that on 18th August 2025, Freetown City Council received the budget allocation for the final quarter of 2024. A detailed breakdown of those transferred funds is also attached. As at today, 15th September 2025, none of the 2025 budget allocation has yet been transferred to Freetown City Council and the other local councils of Sierra Leone. I remain strongly opposed to the proposed plans for the division of Freetown. I am not opposed to the plans because they will impact my tenure as the Mayor of Freetown; no, I am opposed to the plans because they will negatively impact the future of Freetown and the lives of Freetonians. Service delivery in Freetown is most negatively impacted by coordination challenges and inadequate financial resources. Both of these issues will be made worse by the creation of another local council within the 82 sq km of land that is Freetown. Coordination with the MDAs that hold key urban management functions will now be required by two local councils and not one. Financial resources which are already inadequate for service delivery will be diverted to covering the cost of another local council office and staff. Creating another local council will not generate wealth, it will not stimulate economic growth in Freetown, it will sadly increase the public sector wage bill and divert the limited financial resources available away from delivering services to covering staff costs. As you can see from the analysis in my open letter, the East End of Freetown which currently contributes only 20% of property rates but has the highest population, will be extremely disadvantaged. I stand opposed to the proposed plans to divide Freetown and create two local councils because I love the city in which I was born and raised and I love the people who live in this city. Freetown deserves to be allowed to meet its potential and flourish. The proposed plans will not solve any of Freetown’s challenges, they will make them worse. So I will continue to say “Save Freetown!” #SaveFreetown #TransformFreetown #TransformingLives
