Freetown, 13th November 2026- The Chief Executive Officer of Sonatel Group and Chairman of the Board of Orange Sierra Leone, Mr Brelotte Ba, has paid a courtesy visit to His Excellency President Dr Julius Maada Bio at State House in Freetown.
Mr Ba was accompanied by Madam Aïcha Touré, Chief Executive Officer of Orange Sierra Leone.
The visit provided an opportunity for warm and constructive engagement between the telecommunications giant and the Government of Sierra Leone, at a time when digital connectivity is increasingly central to economic growth, education, and service delivery.
During the meeting, the Orange Sonatel Group delegation reaffirmed the company’s longstanding commitment to supporting Sierra Leone’s digital transformation agenda.
The Group also restated its readiness to continue investing in the country, deepening network coverage, improving service quality, and supporting national development priorities.
President Bio welcomed the delegation and acknowledged Orange Sierra Leone’s role as a key partner in expanding access to mobile and internet services across the country.
For thousands of Sierra Leoneans, Orange is more than a network. It is how families stay connected, how businesses trade, how students learn, and how communities access information.
The courtesy visit, officials said, signals a renewed partnership between government and one of the country’s largest investors, with digital inclusion at the centre.
Orange Sonatel Group, which operates in several West African markets, has been a major player in Sierra Leone’s telecom sector for years. Its continued engagement at State House is seen as a vote of confidence in the country’s investment climate and digital future.
As Sierra Leone pushes ahead with its national development agenda, both sides say the focus will remain on partnership, innovation, and delivering real benefits to ordinary citizens.
