Many Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad have showered praises on the leadership of the indefatigable Director General of the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT), Mohamed Fuaad Daboh, for not only excelling in infrastructure development, but also extending social security protection to the majority of the citizens.
Paramount among NASSIT’s infrastructure development is the construction of an ultra-modern structure as the Northwest Regional Office to serve as the newest Regional Service Centre.
According to the NASSIT Director General, Mr. Mohamed Fuaad Daboh, the same service people receive in Freewtown is the same service the Northwest Regional Office will be providing, adding that apart from the thermal installed in the building, they also have a solar farm that will serve whenever the thermal has a breakdown.
He assured the Northwest Regional Office will always be at the service of the public when requested, adding that Port Loko is very lucky because the Northwest Regional Office is very different from the ones in Bo, Kenema and Makeni in terms of technology.
The Port Loko office is very strategic, and according to the DG, by next month, they should be talking of a specific date when His Excellency President Dr. Julius Maada Bio will be officially commissioning the Northwest Regional Office amidst pomp and pageantry.
“I’m more impressed with the leadership of Mr. Mohamed Fuaad Daboh because of the modern structures NASSIT is building to ensure that the social security institution reaches the nook and cranny of Sierra Leone,” a senior citizen in Port Loko said. He also hailed the leadership of Mr. Daboh, who made the informal sector of the scheme very active as compared to his predecessors.
The senior citizen believes that with time, the NASSIT boss will take the services of the scheme to everywhere in Sierra Leone if given the opportunity to continue serving the social security outfit.
Many have also praised the NASSIT DG for the construction of the District Office in Moyamba. President Bio commissioned and officially opened the Moyamba District Office in January 2026 and described the event as a crucial step towards extending social security protection to the vast majority of Sierra Leoneans.
According to the NASSIT DG, the decision to construct a District Office in Moyamba fulfilled a presidential mandate, supported by extensive research, policy deliberations, and community consultations.
The Sewa Grounds Market, which was commissioned by President Julius Maada Bio on 18th September 2025, was constructed by NASSIT to provide a modern, safe, and hygienic trading environment to vendors and shoppers, especially traders at the Abacha Street.
