Furthermore, the project, which entailed borrowing money from the Chinese, was deemed an unprofitable agreement by the IMF and the World Bank.
Even though the construction of a new airport was not in President Bio's agenda, it was regarded very significant because the previous one was dilapidated and did not meet contemporary international standards when he assumed office.
President Bio had to find a solution to build a new airport for Sierra Leone without spending any money. Fortunately, a business called SUMMA stepped up, and the project is now moving forward at a quick pace.
Finally, on March 25, 2022, the president paid a working visit to the airport building site, where he was astounded by the progress accomplished thus far by Turkish and Sierra Leonean employees.
During his remarks at the airport, the president stated that the airport project in Sierra Leone is the Turkish greatest private investment in Africa. The project is planned to be completed in December and operational in January of this year.
