The Government secured the re-introduction of Free Calls and Bonuses as Mobile Tariffs slightly go up

The Government secured the re-introduction of Free Calls and Bonuses as Mobile Tariffs slightly go up

The Government has engaged Mobile Operators to ensure a people-centered tariff adjustment system is implemented.

The government's interventions to cater to the people of Sierra Leone are as follows:


1. Delayed Increase: Amidst rising inflation, gas, and electricity costs, the government successfully postponed voice and data tariff hikes, easing the burden on citizens.

2. Quality Investment: The government insisted on quality improvements before any increase. Africell and Orange (covering 97% of the market) introduced 5G technology, setting the stage for enhanced data services.

3. Bonuses Return: The government secured a commitment for the revival of free calls and bonuses alongside tariff adjustments, providing added value to users.

4. Job Security: Concerns about job cuts were addressed as the government secured a commitment from mobile companies to prevent mass layoffs.

5. Moderate Increases: Despite proposals for tariff hikes of over 100%, the government ensured that any increase would be kept below the 100% mark, safeguarding affordability.

6. Data Cost Relief: Recognizing the increased use of data for communication, the government negotiated for a data cost increase that is only half of the voice cost adjustment, easing the burden on young users.

7. Enhanced CSR: Mobile companies pledge greater investments in community initiatives and support for the Big 5 agenda, benefitting our society.

8. Championing the People's Needs: While tariff adjustments were long-expected, these concessions demonstrate the government's commitment to addressing citizens' concerns and championing their interests.

The Ministry of Communications, Technology, and Innovation and the National Telecommunications Authority(NatCA) are working closely to ensure the Country, the People, and the Mobile Companies get tripartite benefits.

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead". 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.

A scammer from Sierra Leone has been captured by Guinean police.

  The person in the picture is actually Abdulai Jalloh, despite the fact that he is identified as a lecturer from Njala University under the name of Dr. Kanu. In early January of this year, he posted in a WhatsApp group in Kambia that he had scholarship chances and could help people acquire government pin codes, among other things, but that the offer was only valid for those from the South and east.   Someone sent him NLe1,500 for overseas study without realizing he was a scammer.  The scammer claimed that the entire application process for the scholarship cost 3,000 New Leone.  Later, the contacted person realized that he was not who he had been representing himself to be, and he immediately blocked the victim of his syndicate.  He once more perpetrated the same crime against Molai, another individual, and someone else.  In the pretense of an international scholarship, he demanded 3000 New Leones from each person. He accepted the cash and fled without telling them where he was.  The m
