FREETOWN – President Julius Maada Bio’s New Direction government has continued creating job opportunities for young people in all sectors with the recruitment of five hundred (500) Game Guards by the National Protected Area Authority (NPAA).
Speaking at the graduation ceremony held on Saturday 24th October, 2020 at National Protected Area Peace Mission Training Centre, Yams Farm in Freetown, Vice President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh expressed delight to represent President Julius Maada Bio at the ceremony as a manifestation of government’s commitments to protecting the national protected area. He said that the Game Guards will secure government’s protected areas for effective environmental governance and ecosystem conservation.
VP Juldeh said human activities including deforestation, indiscriminate logging, charcoal production and unregulated mining disrupt ecological values of the forest which pose challenges to conservation efforts to which NPAA was established. He further admonished Game Guards to behave in a professional manner; respect laws and community people and to desist from selling state lands in any assigned community.
