The Government of Sierra Leone has announced the official relaunch of the national telecommunications operator, Sierratel, following a new private sector partnership aimed at revitalising the company and strengthening the country’s digital infrastructure.
The announcement was made after a strategic meeting involving Sierratel staff and the Ministry of Employment, during which the Minister of Communication, Technology and Innovation confirmed that an agreement has been reached to reposition Sierratel under a modern and sustainable operating model.
As part of the initial phase of the relaunch, an advance payment of 2 million US dollars will be disbursed to begin settling staff liabilities. The total outstanding obligations to employees are estimated at approximately 6.3 million US dollars, a move government officials say is intended to support workers and stabilise operations within the company.
According to the Ministry of Communication, Technology and Innovation, the relaunch marks a significant step toward restoring Sierratel’s operational capacity, protecting national telecommunications assets, improving service delivery, and building a more resilient and future-ready telecom sector.
Officials have described the development as the beginning of a new phase for both Sierratel and Sierra Leone’s broader digital transformation agenda, with expectations that the private sector partnership will enhance efficiency, innovation, and long-term sustainability in the telecommunications industry.
Good moves 👌
If you guys insist on going along with the CDMA stuff just as the last time because some of the guys were chasing commission, it won’t work again. Open up your sims to use the GSM models just like Orange, Qcell and Africell den e go betteh. You guys had the fastest and best internet service but your insistence on ‘mokofay’ was the problem.
