CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE

Congratulations Director General, National Petroleum Regulatory Authority ( NPRA), Brima Baluwa Koroma, for winning the most competitive and prestigious African Regulator Award 2025 hosted by the African Business Leadership Awards in London , one of the leading and fair awarding bodies in the African Continent.

This award is a testament to your outstanding leadership and unflinching commitment in rebranding and building an effective Downstream Petroleum Industry in Sierra Leone in the last six years.

This award is very crucial and timely, given the fact you have been formally given new mandate as the First Director General of NPRA. Winning the African Regulator Award 2025 is inspiring and a motivation to your astute and acumen stewardship and an open challenge to compete with other Regulators in Africa. .

This is a very huge achievement and victory for not only the National Petroleum Regulatory Authority, but Sierra Leone as a whole. Thank you, for making a very small country in the West African region, below eight million people, very proud and admirable.
