Mayor Aki Sawyerr Blasts NASSIT for Ignoring FCC’s Stake in Sewa Grounds Market

Freetown Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr has publicly asserted that the Freetown City Council (FCC) has been deliberately excluded by the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT) from the development and operation of the newly commissioned Sewa Grounds Market, despite the council owning the land and holding a 25% stake in the project.
Speaking in a radio interview, Mayor Aki-Sawyerr confirmed that the land for both the Sewa Grounds Market and Victoria Park is legally owned by the Freetown City Council.
The Mayor stated that upon assuming office, she held meetings with NASSIT authorities to discuss collaboration on the progress of the two business ventures. However, she said she was unable to locate updated records for the projects within the council’s files.
