The First Lady of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Dr. Fatima Jabbie Maada Bio, who has won numerous national and international awards, has been appointed by the UN Secretary General to a significant position in the UN. 

Dear Mrs. Maada Bio,

In accordance with the United Nations General Assembly resolution on Zero

Waste (77/161) of 22 December 2022, it is with great pleasure that I appoint you as

an important role to play in supporting zero-waste initiatives in the context of sustainable development. As a Board member, I trust that I can count on your knowledge, experience, expertise and commitment to promote zero-waste initiatives.

Given that the concept of "zero waste" is gaining attention worldwide as a

sustainable solution to reduce waste, redesign material use and production, promote a circular economy, and inform consumer choices, it is my hope that the multi-partner and multidisciplinary, regionally and gender balanced Board will work to publicize best practices and success stories and raise awareness to promote local and national zero-waste initiatives. The Terms of Reference of the Board are enclosed.

As convenor of the Advisory Board, I look forward to the work you will undertake with fellow Board Members to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and I have asked the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to work closely with you. Focal points from these organizations will contact you soon about the onboarding process as well as with details for the first meeting of the Board in September 2023, in New York.

I welcome you once again to the Advisory Board on Zero Waste and trust that

you will continue to be a champion on our journey to reach the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, and to raise awareness and promote practices leading to progress towards a sustainable and prosperous future for people and planet.

Yours sincerely,

"It can only be Allah. That girl from Kono is appointed by no less a person but @UN Secretary General @antonioguterres to the advisory board of eminent persons, to promote zero-waste initiatives to advance the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. I am grateful. @presidentbio"

If you recall, in the year 2022, Dr. John Idriss Lahai, a whistle-blower who exposed a phony degree, attracted the attention of every patriotic Sierra Leonean. His activity came to light after it was found that numerous Sierra Leoneans had received honorary PhDs from a Waterloo, Western Rural District postsecondary institution that was not accredited. Even well-known Sierra Leoneans, including the previous Inspector General of Police, were given honorary PhDs by the university known as Dominion University. When it was determined that the aforementioned university lacks the integrity to grant such a credential, the IG subsequently declined the offer. Dominion University PHD award ceremony From this point on, Dr. John Idriss Lahai began to expose Sierra Leoneans who, in his opinion, had earned questionable academic credentials. He then began to draw attention from people from all
