According to a report from State House, the President, Vice President, the Chief Minister and key sector ministers, met with the leadership of the Workers’ Union and Sierra Rutile/Iluka leadership on Monday 26^th November 2018 at State House.

The purpose of the meeting was to resolve the ongoing impasse between the Workers’ Union and Sierra Rutile/Iluka leadership, as part of Government’s efforts to provide the enabling environment for uninterrupted operations at the Sierra Rutile Mines.

Rutile mining is Sierra Leone’s largest single commodity export, and the dispute has seriously affected not only government revenue, but the local economy and households’ income.
