“As a government, our primary focus is on growing the economy to enhance the quality of life of every citizen, ensuring that no one is left behind in our journey of progress…,’ he said in the 15-minute long speech that was broadcast on state TV.
The statement touched on a wide range of other issues, including health, food security, climate change, energy, and gender empowerment.
President Bio emphasized on his desire to promote democratic governance and improve on the socioeconomic conditions of Sierra Leoneans.
