President Dr. Julius Maada Bio has officially appointed Mr. Cyril Arnold Grant as Sierra Leone’s new Minister of Energy, according to a public notice issued by the Office of the President on Thursday, 6th November 2025.
The announcement, signed by Barba B. Fortune, Secretary to the President, confirmed that the appointment is subject to parliamentary approval, as required by law.
Until this development, President Bio had been acting Minister of Energy, following his decision to dismiss the former minister earlier this year. The move signals a renewed push by the presidency to stabilize and strengthen leadership within the energy sector, which remains critical to Sierra Leone’s national development agenda.
Mr. Cyril Arnold Grant is now expected to bring fresh direction to the ministry as the government continues its efforts to improve electricity access, expand energy infrastructure, and enhance efficiency across the sector.
More updates will follow as Parliament reviews the appointment.
