The Government of Sierra Leone through the Ministry of Labour and Social Security has in a press statement released on Friday, April 30, 2021, lifted the temporary ban placed on overseas recruitment. These activities were being facilitated by non-registered underground overseas recruitment agencies and which was having a negative impact on the migrants. Since the ban was imposed the government has been working tirelessly to set up regulations to ensure safe and coordinated migration for Sierra Leoneans. So far the Ministry of Labour and Social Security has called on interested recruitment agencies to complete their certification and authorization process. The authorities in major border crossings are also informed to deny departing labor migrants without evidence of the necessary documents approved by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security.
