He said he has opted to bring in other projects to Sierra Leone.
He said since there is over one thousand stationeries shops in country, there is urgent need to explore more ideas so as to make the business more competitive.
He said the need to provide the appropriate goods and services that meet the needs of the people, improve on their marking strategies, will surely bring solutions that will meet customer’s needs.

In his path, the Minister of Trade and Industry, Richard Conteh said that Sierra Leone is indeed going through a period of transformation and development.
