My meeting with President Koroma was a great honor for me, taking into account the positive developments happening back home and the desire on my part to ask him a few questions as a journalist. That said, the media friendly nature of President Koroma and his government has helped in wooing more support for him. Since his days in opposition as Opposition Leader, Hon Ernest Bai Koroma has been a man of the media, having time to pick up his phone and call. This is unlike past Presidents in the country. My meeting with him therefore was very timely and appreciated.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday 10th<\/sup> April, President Koroma told me that\u00a0 people all over the country have demonstrated their appreciation\u00a0 for\u00a0 what his\u00a0 government has been able to achieve, especially in terms of\u00a0 the \u2018Agenda for Change\u2019.\u00a0 For him \u201cthe evidence is all over the country and people have been appreciative of our achievements as a government\u2026\u201d and as a government, they have been able to sustain their progress. President Koroma was reasonably happy with what they (NEC) have done for they have behaved in a professional manner and he is hopeful they will continue with the process in that manner to it final conclusion.<\/p>\n He knows he has been working in the interest of the people and that people have appreciated his good works. He knows, in politics, an opponent should not be underestimated, so he can\u2019t give a chance to whosoever s contesting again him. But the point is, he has made a mark upon which he is going to be reelected this year.<\/p>\n I also had time to visit IAMTECH, in the east of Freetown, being one of those institutes also contributing to the country\u2019s development process, from the perspective of its contribution to the nation\u2019s human resource capacity. The development\u2019s agenda of Sierra Leone could now be summed up from the perspective of what is contained in the government\u2019s Agenda for Change.<\/p>\n One of the main components of the Agenda for Change is the country\u2019s educational sector.<\/p>\n Over the years, government has been putting structures in place aimed at addressing the human resource needs of the country. We have also witnessed a number of institutions supporting the country\u2019s desire for an improvement in its educational sector; one of such institution is the Institute of Advanced Management and Technology, also known as IAMTECH.\u00a0\u00a0 IAMTECH exists to work and help in the area of reducing illiteracy rate in Sierra Leone. Formerly known as the Kissy Computer Training Institute and established in 1991, IAMTECH came about with the aim of technically preparing responsible and motivated Sierra Leoneans to different areas of employment. It was also with the desire to serve the community by further providing an alternative education forum for students and to impart knowledge.\u00a0 A brief history of IAMTECH shows that it has continued to contribute remarkably to Sierra Leone\u2019s human resources.<\/p>\nIAMTECH, serving country and humanity<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
