Statement by the Acting Vice-Chancellor and Principal, University of Management and Technology (UNIMTECH)

This milestone invites us to reflect on our national journey and the vital role education plays in shaping our future.

I also wish for mature democratic relations between our two key political parties, so that even where stark differences arise, tensions will never disrupt the peace and stability that allow our children to go to school and university. Let us emulate countries like Ghana, where politics can become heated but has never ended in violence across decades of national elections. Ghana, which once lagged behind Sierra Leone, is today ahead because it chose stability over strife. May we learn that same lesson and build a prosperous, educated, and united Sierra Leone.
