The Director General of the Sierra Leone Local Content Agency Fodeba Daboh has received the “Most Outstanding Local Content Agency Across Africa Award 2024 from African Governance Committee Conference in Mauritius.

This award identifies and publicly recognizes sovereign institutions from all across Africa and multilateral institutions active across the continent that have made exemplary contributions to good governance on the continent with regard to political governance and socio-economic development.

Receiving the award, Mr. Daboh said he was fortunate to be one of the awardees amongst sixteen other African countries. He said this is yet another achievement that demonstrates true dedication to service.

He revealed that at local content their work is about socio-economic development, how to make the lives of their indigenes better and how they ensure that the resources that are meant for indigenous Sierra Leoneans benefit from them, in terms of award of contracts, procurement, tenure processes, capacity development, employment or even wealth creation.

He said this is not about him doing all the work but across his various departments at the Agency.

He concluded by acknowledging His Excellency the President Julius Maada Bio for giving him the opportunity and the support he has been getting across government from the Vice President’s Office, Her Excellency the First Lady, the Chief Minister, that have always been there believing in what local content is about.

“This is not my win but Sierra Leone’s win so Sierra Leone should celebrate this award” he ended
