The Director-General of Sierra Leone Port and Harbours Authority (SLPHA), Mr. Yankuba Askia Bio, and his Deputy, Mrs. Judith Boi Kosseh, have extended appreciation to the women within the Authority by presenting them with special gifts in anticipation of International Women’s Day.

In his statement, DG Askia Bio expressed his commitment to providing opportunities for women's growth under his leadership. He highlighted the importance of adhering to the 30% quota set by His Excellency President Dr. Julius Maada Bio for women's empowerment, emphasizing that this initiative would serve as a strong motivation for the women within the organization.
Speaking on behalf of the women, Mrs. Cotay expressed gratitude to both the DG and DDG for their thoughtful gesture, marking the first time that women have been formally appreciated at the SLPHA.
