Fuel Pump Price reduces to 19 Leones

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson 


Effective Friday, 29th July, 2022 the pump price of all petroleum products in Sierra Leone now stands at 19 Leones per liter, according to a latest joint adjustment of the commodity  price by the Petroleum Regulatory Authority-(PRA) and partners.

PRA and partners which includes the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, and the Oil Marketing Companies met and resolved to announce a second price decrease within 11 days after it earlier reduced the same products prices from Le 22 to 20 Leones on July 18, this year.

However, the main factor the reduction of the fuel pump prices nationwide according to PRA reflects on the movement in international refined petroleum product prices for petrol and diesel.

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.

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...

Disturbing snail space Civil works in the Makeni Central Lorry park

By: Ibrahim Jalloh - (Jallomy) The Makeni City Council (MCC) ordered commercial vehicles and business entities to leave the park area for the purpose of upgrading the park. Two weeks were given as the duration of the work. Regrettably, a week plus few days have elapsed with no significant work done. Drivers and business people in the park are completely frustrated and their livelihoods threatened.  Few years ago, drivers and traders were asked out of the park for similar reason but after two weeks they were asked to return to the park with no work done. This was disrespectful and insulting.  We urge MCC to double their efforts as the affected persons are running out of patience.
