In a heartwarming demonstration of unity and community spirit, bike riders in Pujehun District banded together for a collective mission: a voluntary drainage and road clearing project, stationed opposite the Sierra Leone Road Safety Authority office to extend to other locations.
Lahai Seitua, the District Chairman of the Sierra Leone Commercial Motorbike Riders Union in Pujehun, elaborated on this meaningful initiative in an exclusive interview.
Driven by a common goal to heighten road safety and uplift their community’s condition, these riders amassed significant numbers to tackle the task at hand. Armed with shovels, brooms, and essential tools, they dedicated themselves fervently to eliminating debris, unclogging drains, and paving the way for safer transit, benefiting both motorists and pedestrians.
Seitua proudly highlighted that this endeavor was entirely championed by the bike riders themselves, illustrating their unwavering dedication to the community’s welfare and their active role in propelling its growth. Their self-initiated actions not only set an inspiring precedent but also nurtured a sense of ownership and responsibility among the locals.
Speaking on behalf of the Sierra Leone Commercial Motorbike Riders Union, Seitua emphasized the criticality of maintaining effective drainage systems and clean roads to curtail accidents and foster a conducive environment for all.
Underlining the choice of location for this project, opposite the Sierra Leone Road Safety Authority office, the initiative aimed to draw attention to the necessity for collaboration between bike riders and authorities. This partnership could further enhance road safety measures in Pujehun District.
The altruistic gesture of these bike riders earned accolades from both residents and passersby, lauding their commitment and community-centric approach. Their noble venture serves as a powerful reminder that even small actions wield substantial influence in societal betterment.
Seitua indicated that as the project nears completion, the bike riders of Pujehun District persist in inspiring others through their proactive involvement in community development initiatives. Their contributions not only promote a safer and cleaner environment but also nurture unity and cooperation among district residents.
