In a warm and optimistic address, Prof. Kamara expressed his deep appreciation for the collective efforts of the university community and the government throughout 2023.

“I want to congratulate the entire University community and the government for our concerted efforts throughout the year,” he stated. “Together, we have demonstrated unwavering commitment and resilience, and through our combined efforts, we can do even more to regain our past glory.”

Prof. Kamara’s message emphasized the divine blessings received throughout the year, acknowledging the goodness of God and expressing continued prayers for guidance, protection, and provision as USL steps into 2024.
