It was a tearful Wednesday 2nd March, 2022 at Orange SL ultra-modern office at Hill Station as staff of the company bid farewell to the outgoing CEO Madam Aminata Kane Ndiaye for her extraordinary transformation of the telecommunication company in Sierra Leone.
It will be recorded that for over 20 years of the existence of private telecommunication companies in Sierra Leone, this is the first time for management and staff of a company to organise such a massive farewell ceremony for an outgoing CEO.
The event at their headquarters was marked with lots of activities where she was crowned as Chief not only for giving Orange SL a face-lift, but also for improving the business which touched the lives of staff and many others outside Orange and for her love for people which shone throughout her four years stint in Sierra Leone.
The President Staff Welfare Connect, Joseph Momoh stated that indeed the event manifests the fact that Madam Aminata Kane’s stay at Orange SL was great and developmental and helped raised the morale of the staff which is at the highest degree, adding that she cares very much about the welfare of her staff.
The outgoing CEO was showered with gifts, prayers and appreciation for her astounding work. Presenting a gift on behalf of Orange Women, President Martha Sumaila thanked Madam Kane for her wonderful support to the women at Orange, noting that she established a nursery at the company for staff who had children they could not leave behind at home because they needed to suckle their kids. She commended Madam Kane for promoting numbers of female staff to top positions in the company.
Abdulai Daboh, the President OSL Men, thanked the outgoing CEO for her motherly role, adding that they would miss her sorely for her motherly care and support to the male staff at Orange.
Speaking earlier, Caesar Augustus Bendu, the Orange Southern Region Area Sales Manager thanked the outgoing CEO for believing in the potentials of young people and for her willingness to place them in positions of trust. He further thanked her for giving them the platform and opportunities to grow and learn while at Orange SL.
In a very sad tone the Head of Human Resource of Orange-SL Agnes Songai said the event is historic to Orange Sierra Leone. She expressed her thanks and appreciation to the outgoing Chief Executive Officer of Orange Mobile Company for her exemplary leadership in transforming the company and facilitating the construction of their ultra-modern edifice.
She commended the outgoing Chief Executive Officer of Orange SL for providing the staff with the requisite working environment to execute their jobs without hindrance.
One of the oldest staff of Orange Sierra Leone, Victoria Elba expressed her gratitude to the Chief Executive Officer of Orange for undertaking the needed reforms of the company. She said that for over 20 years, they were scattered all over the place but that they can now boast of an ultra-modern working place.
The presentation which crowned the ceremony was done by Commissioner Alhaji Dauda Musa Bangura, CEO of The Owl Newspaper on behalf of the Orange Media partners. He highlighted the support the media received under the outgoing CEO’s leadership.
The event was livened by the best of Sierra Leone artistes Markmuday, Waterlara, Pitwizzy, Mello Seven, Skillz 8figure, Fantacee Wiz and others.
