Welcome Message from the Minister of Transport and Aviation

Hon. Amb. Rtd Col. Alhaji Fanday Turay Esq.

Welcome to the official website of the Ministry of Transport and Aviation. I am honoured to serve as your Minister, and I invite you to explore our vision for a modern, safe, and sustainable transportation network that drives our nation’s progress.

Our mission is clear: to build a transport system that connects every corner of Sierra Leone, stimulates economic growth, and improves the daily lives of all citizens . We are working tirelessly to transform the sector—from introducing the “Waka Fine” buses that now move thousands across Freetown daily, to reimagining our railway network and pursuing ambitious plans for train transportation .

We are committed to strengthening our aviation and maritime sectors, as evidenced by our recent engagements on the international stage and the ratification of key regional air transport agreements . Our focus also remains firmly on safety for all, demonstrated by our ratification of the African Road Safety Charter, and our dedication to building efficient, climate-resilient systems .

This website serves as your gateway to our activities, policies, and services. We encourage you to explore, engage, and share in our commitment to a connected and prosperous Sierra Leone.
