DEAR SIERRA LEONE, THE UBA PREPAID CARD IS YOUR ANSWER TO GOING CASHLESS
Hello Tribe, Here’s the truth: I am always wary of financial institutions, bankers and how well they market their new services and products, so for me, I nearly always choose the ‘UNBELIEVING THOMAS’ route with them.

I have settled for a love affair with UBA Sierra Leone and I will be sharing my direct experiences using their #UBAPrepaidCard, but…

EU JOB’S AND GROWTH PROGRAMME PROMOTES AGRO TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION INTIATIVES FOR SUSTAINABLE FARMING IN SIERRA LEONE
Sierra Leone is endowed with favourable climatic conditions with diverse agro-ecological areas suitable for a wide variety of crops.
