SLRSA Makeni Head of Station Express Determination

©: By: Alusine Rehme Wilson✍️

The Sierra Leone Road Safety Authority (SLRSA) has been very key in the protection of lives and properties of road users in the country. To many, the northern region corps has been up to the task, the reason for this success especially at Zone 5 stationed in Makeni city through the efforts of the dynamic head of station.

Undoubtedly, Zone 5 has been unique in exercising their duties responsibly, and this has led to the successful promotions of its successive head of station. Many for his astute leadership today miss the former head of station of Zone 5, Augutine Kai Thongai who is now working in Freetown, on a new assignment.
The arrival of Arthur Robert Sonny Fynn in Makeni as new head of station is seemingly very welcoming for his determination to thread on successful development strides of Kai Tongai and others is adding a feather to his cap.

In an interview with Northern Times, Mr. Fynn, outlined his vision for his new seat. Some of his visions outlined show his determination to embark on massive school and stakeholders, sensitization and Collaboration for efficiency.

He also made commitment of working on to eradicate the NP illegal park established by some lawless road users and Drivers Union members; a task he said is one of his top priorities.

“I am therefore, calling on all road users and union executives to encourage their members to abide by the road safety rules and to as well inculcate the habit of licensing their vehicles, bikes, and more, in order for them to avoid being in conflicts with the law”, Mr. Arthur Robert Sonny Fynn said.

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them.

Sierra Leone, Two other Nations disqualified from AFCON 2024 U17 Qualifiers

By: Abdulrahman Barrie The U17 football teams from Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau have been disqualified from the 2024 U17 African Cup of Nations competition in Senegal after failing the mandatory MRI test scans. These scans, which determine the age of the players, revealed discrepancies that led to their removal from the tournament. The disqualification follows changes to Article 27.4 of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations regulations, which have tightened the criteria and enforcement of age verification measures. The updated rules stipulate that if a team has more than four players deemed ineligible after the MRI eligibility test, the entire team will be disqualified. The MRI tests, used to enforce age restrictions in youth competitions, are crucial for ensuring fairness. Unfortunately, the teams from these three nations did not meet the age criteria, resulting in their disqualification. This decision has come as a significant disappointment for the young players and their fans, w...
