The Ministry of Employment, Labour and Social Security has issued a public notice clarifying that no bilateral agreement or memorandum of understanding has been signed between Sierra Leone and the governments of the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, or Australia for the deployment of manpower to these countries.

The Ministry emphasizes that the circulating information on social media regarding such an agreement is entirely false and misleading.

Sierra Leoneans are urged to exercise caution and refrain from applying for any jobs based on this misinformation, as it has the potential to lead to fraudulent activities, exploitation, and even human trafficking.

The Ministry stresses that the responsible authorities are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of job seekers seeking overseas opportunities, and any announcements related to employment opportunities should be verified directly with the Ministry of Employment, Labour and Social Security.
