Bo City, Southern Region – His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio has said that his administration will provide the required support to infrastructural development in Sierra Leone. He made this statement on Friday, 8th June during the commissioning of plants and machinery owned by First Tricon Limited that will be used for the construction works on the Bo – Mattru road project.

He noted that his new direction agenda places infrastructure as one of its topmost priorities. He stated that he is proud to learn that First Tricon Limited is owned by Africans and therefore encouraged other continental business groups to invest in the country.

He vowed to provide the company the necessary support needed to complete the project.

“My government will provide you with the support to ensure that you finish the work within the stipulated time. We will frown against anything that has the potential to impede on the furtherance of this work,” he said.
