Sierra Leone’s First Visually Impaired Lawyer Thanks Chief Minister for Support
Amidu Bakarr Sankoh, who recently passed the bar exams, paid a courtesy visit to Chief Minister Dr. David Moinina Sengeh to express gratitude for his unwavering support during his legal studies.
“Many before me had the brilliance but not the opportunity. The Chief Minister made the impossible possible,” Amidu said.
With aspirations to serve at the Law Officers Department, Amidu emphasized his commitment to giving back to the government that supported his journey. In a powerful show of support, the Chief Minister personally called the Attorney General, who responded positively and invited Amidu for further discussions.
Amidu also received a symbolic gift from the Sierra Leone Bar Association—a legal wig—presented by SLBA’s Financial Secretary, Madam Satto Kobbo, on behalf of the Radical Inclusion Movement.
This journey began when a fellow Princewalean reached out to advocate for Amidu, leading to a $2,000 donation from the Chief Minister for essential study tools. That support helped Amidu navigate law school independently.
His message: “I will repay this nation not with words, but with service.”
