The National Investment Board (NIB) Secretariat wishes to inform the general public that, pursuant to Sections 19(3) and 51(a) of the National Investment Board Act No. 49 of 2022, the Business Registration Unit of the Office of the Administrator and Registrar General (OARG), currently located at Roxy Building, No. 28 Walpole Street, Freetown, will officially relocate its operations to the NIB Secretariat at No. 3 Jomo Kenyatta Road, Dwzark Junction, Freetown (near Mereweather School). This relocation will take effect on Monday, 10th February, 2025.
Following this transition, all registration activities for Sole Proprietorship and Partnerships will be conducted exclusively at the NIB Secretariat. Additionally, all correspondence and inquiries relating to the Business Registration Unit should be addressed to the Executive Director of the National Investment Board (NIB) and delivered to the new office at No. 3 Jomo Kenyatta Road, Freetown.
This move signifies the final stage of the institutional integration process outlined in Sections 19 to 23 of the NIB Act No. 49 of 2022. The purpose of this integration is to enable the NIB Secretariat to operate as a centralized hub for business registration and investment facilitation, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in delivering its services.
The relocation demonstrates the Government’s commitment to streamlining the business registration process, creating a seamless and investor-friendly environment. By consolidating services under the NIB Secretariat, the Government aims to enhance Sierra Leone’s business climate, making it easier for entrepreneurs and investors to establish and grow their businesses.
The National Investment Board (NIB), established by an Act of Parliament in 2022, is mandated to promote investments, provide support to investors, and improve the overall business environment in Sierra Leone. This relocation is part of broader reforms to strengthen the country’s position as an attractive destination for both domestic and foreign investments.
