Statement from the President

Mohamed Rex Bhonapha

As the national students’ president, I have the responsibility to advocate, lobby, and represent the interests of Sierra Leonean students both at national and international levels. Therefore, I intend to showcase the work of student leaders, and their contribution to national development, and to showcase the excellent writing skills of students that would expose them to potential employers. Our work is limited at the various campuses with little or no acknowledgment from the nation, but that does not mean the citizens of this great nation do not want to know the same, we have just not been able to have such a great platform. This is going to serve as a space moving forward. Hence, every student activity and notice from the supervisory ministry will be posted here to inform students accordingly, and will also serve as a platform to voice out the concerns and aspirations of students.  

MISSION & VISSION

Our Aims and Objectives are in line with the interests of all Sierra Leonean students both at home and outside the country.
