The Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) has conferred a prestigious award on its former Secretary General, Umaru Napoleon Koroma, in recognition of his enduring commitment, institutional stewardship, and transformative contributions to the party’s organizational development.
The award was presented at the Party’s Inaugural Dinner and Dance which was well-attended in Freetown, drawing senior party executives, grassroots leaders, elders, youth representatives, and invited guests from across the political spectrum. Party officials described the honour as a formal acknowledgment of Koroma’s pivotal role in strengthening internal governance structures and reinforcing party cohesion during critical moments in the SLPP’s history.
Speaking at the event, senior SLPP figures praised Koroma for what they termed his “unwavering fidelity to party ideals and constitutional discipline.” They credited his tenure with advancing administrative reforms, professionalizing party secretariats, and fostering inclusive engagement across regions and demographics.
“Umaru Napoleon Koroma exemplifies principled leadership,” a party spokesperson said. “His legacy is embedded in the institutional resilience of the SLPP and the culture of service he helped entrench.”
In his acceptance remarks, Koroma expressed profound gratitude to the party leadership and membership, describing the award as a collective tribute to all party workers who laboured behind the scenes to sustain the SLPP through periods of transition and renewal. He reaffirmed his loyalty to the party and urged members to remain steadfast in unity, discipline, and service to the nation.
The recognition comes as the SLPP continues to consolidate its internal structures and celebrate individuals whose contributions have shaped its historical trajectory. Party analysts view the award as both a symbolic and strategic gesture, reinforcing continuity, institutional memory, and respect for service within the party’s ranks.
As applause filled the hall, the moment stood as a testament to the SLPP’s tradition of honouring dedication and reinforcing the values that underpin its political mission.
