At numerous public forums hosted by the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT), or events where the institution is represented, one theme consistently stands out—the remarkable success and steady progress of NASSIT are rooted in visionary leadership.
There is no secret about the man at the helm. The Director General of NASSIT, Mohamed Fuuad Daboh, is known not only for his administrative acumen but also for being deeply God-fearing—placing faith and divine guidance at the center of both his private and public life.
It is often said that spiritually grounded leaders are endowed with a unique sense of vision and purpose. They possess innate leadership qualities that inspire others and drive meaningful change. Mohamed Fuuad Daboh is a shining example of this. His faith, discipline, and integrity have become the pillars of his leadership at NASSIT.
Unsurprisingly, at gatherings organized by NASSIT or in which the Trust participates, speakers frequently highlight DG Daboh as a visionary leader. Under his guidance, NASSIT has become a progressive and industrious institution—one that has attracted more contributors to the Scheme than at any time in its history, while also actively contributing to national development.
President Julius Maada Bio has, on numerous occasions, publicly praised the leadership of DG Daboh. He is often cited among a select group of leaders who not only support but also complement the government’s national development agenda, doing so with fairness and inclusivity—transcending political, religious, and regional boundaries.
Since its establishment over two decades ago, NASSIT’s performance under the stewardship of Mohamed Fuuad Daboh has been nothing short of remarkable. The institution has earned a well-deserved reputation for excellence and innovation. Public figures and stakeholders alike openly commend the Trust for setting the pace in the social security sector.
It is fair to suggest that other institutions in the country could benefit from following NASSIT’s example—or, at the very least, learning from its visionary, results-driven approach.
The consistent progress of NASSIT is a direct result of teamwork, dedication, and a leadership style defined by resolve, dynamism, and clarity of purpose. Today, the institution stands as a national icon—an enviable benchmark of success in public administration.
Yet even these accolades may fall short in capturing the full extent of NASSIT’s contributions and impact. DG Daboh and his team have remained steadfast—keeping the institution on course, even when others have faltered.
Indeed, NASSIT under DG Daboh is the golden goose of Sierra Leone’s social security landscape. It must therefore be nurtured and protected with care, diligence, and strategic foresight.
