Momodu Allieu Pat-Sowe representing His Excellency President Koroma expressed his delight and thanked the above named Ministries for their joint efforts in making this concept a reality. He expressed government’s commitment in providing the enabling environment through the enactment of business and investment friendly policies and regulations for the private sector to operate and provide the required skills, jobs and revenue generated through taxes to enable government provide the socio-economic amenities for its citizens. Hon. Pat Sow also reiterated government’s determination for the country to achieve a middle income status by 2035 hence the need to promote industrialization and operate an export led economy.

    Mr Oluniyi Robbin- Coker, Chairman Board of Directors of the Sierra Leone Investment and Export Promotion Agency (SLIEPA) who chaired the programme described the ceremony as a landmark and historic event for the development of the private sector in the country. He emphasized the need for the country to move away from being a net import country of almost all essential products and services and rather support and promote Made in Sierra Leone as a philosophy and enhance Local Content which is now an established Agency.
