‼️Article ‼️

By: Dr. Tonya Musa
As speculation intensifies and critics sharpen their attacks, one fact remains difficult to dispute: the leadership of NASSIT Director General Mohamed Fuaad Daboh has become one of the defining pillars of institutional continuity in Sierra Leone’s social security sector.

Turning 60 is not a signal of retreat; for many public institutions, it represents the maturity of experience and leadership precisely when it is most needed.

Claims that DG Daboh is “refusing to retire” overlook both legal reality and institutional context. The NASSIT Act does not prescribe a mandatory retirement age for the Director General. What matters under the law is performance, governance, and the confidence of the institution’s stakeholders. By those measures, Daboh continues to command significant support because his tenure has been associated with reform, modernization, and operational restructuring.
Since assuming office in 2018, Daboh has overseen one of the most consequential transition periods in NASSIT’s recent history.

‼️ NEWS UPDATE‼️

The Sierra Leone Teachers Union (SLTU) has written to Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, urging his immediate intervention over delays in the payment of government school fee subsidies.

In a reminder addressed to the Vice President, the union recalled that one of the key resolutions reached during the nationwide teachers’ strike in September 2025 was the settlement of backlog fee subsidies for the 2024/2025 academic year, as well as payment for the first term of the 2025/2026 school year.

The SLTU acknowledged the Vice President’s role in mediating the impasse that led to teachers returning to classrooms, noting that his office played a significant part in restoring calm to the education sector, even though some outstanding issues remain unresolved.
