Born to humble Sierra Leonean parents in Kenema, Lusine Kallon zoomed through the academic pride of the South- The Bo School and then proceeded first to the Milton Margai College of Education and Technology to bag a National Diploma in International Relations and then to IAMTECH to put under his belt a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Resource Management. Lusine Kallon served as the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) Students’ Union President where he attracted more political converts in the various campuses.
As a fresh graduate from MMCET he gained employment with SLYEO as Administrative Assistant. After completing his under graduate degree, he secured employment with the Tropical Farms Limited as the Export/Import and Store Manager.

Throughout his life, Lusine has been people- friendly and his name and reputation sits well with the young.
