The Sierra Leone Ports and Harbour Authority (SLPHA) has undergone significant improvements in recent years under the strong leadership of its Director General, Mr. Yankuba Bio. His focus on transparency, discipline, and teamwork has helped restore confidence and efficiency at the country’s ports.
When Mr. Yankuba Bio took office, the Ports Authority faced numerous challenges, including poor infrastructure and weak management systems. Through his dedication and reforms, the institution is now more organized, secure, and aligned with international standards.
Mr. Bio has built strong working relationships with both local and international partners, strengthening collaboration with shipping companies, customs, and regional maritime organizations to ensure the smooth and transparent flow of trade. His leadership has also fostered cooperation with security agencies in the fight against drug trafficking through the ports.
Despite economic challenges and rising operational costs, Mr. Yankuba Bio continues to strive for excellence. His results have earned him praise from many government officials, including Chief Minister Dr. David Moinina Sengeh, who recently commended him for his outstanding performance and integrity.
Dr. Sengeh noted that, despite false information being circulated about the Ports Authority, the facts clearly demonstrate real progress. He remarked that Mr. Bio’s leadership has brought stability and improved accountability within the system.
Mr. Bio is known for his calm and focused approach. He believes in leading by example and fostering a culture of honesty and hard work among his team.
Today, the Sierra Leone Ports and Harbour Authority stands stronger and more efficient than ever before. Thanks to Mr. Yankuba Bio’s leadership, the Authority is now viewed as a reliable partner in national development and a key player in Sierra Leone’s growing trade sector.
