The Honourable Minister of Social Welfare, Gender and Children’s Affairs Dr Sylvia Olayinka Blyden has mentored Sierra Leone children under the age of 18 years that the forthcoming 2018 election was not for them to get involved in. She was speaking on the Day of the African Child.

Indeed, Sierra Leoneans in every corner of the country; in every chiefdom of all districts and in all cities, woke up early in the morning of Friday June 16th 2017 by 7am to the sweet, lovely voice of Hon. Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Blyden, being played over their radios and television sets as she addressed the Children of Sierra Leone in the annual minister’s 5 minutes Pep Talk to mark June 16th, the Day of the African Child. This year, the Hon. Minister was out of the country but the broadcast was recorded from the U.N. Studios in New York by courtesy of Mr. Kingsley Lington and Mr. Ben Dotsei Malor of the United Nations.
