The Niani Kunting-born citizen, Alhagie Sillah Conateh, CEO of Conateh Jula Enterprise (CJE) informed Governor Bah and his deputy that his enterprise was established in September 2020 to provide the residents of Kunting and satellite communities with easy access to items including food, building and electrical materials. 

“Access to these items before the establishment of my Enterprise proved very difficult for the people of Niani. But today, I’m happy that the enterprise is contributing immensely to alleviating suffering faced by people of this community,” CEO. Conateh told the governor and his deputy.

He expressed happiness about the Governor and his entourage’s visit to his enterprise in particular, by taking his time conducting a tour of the departments without any exclusion. “This is a great source of encouragement to me and my workers,” he added.
