Madam Musayeroh Barrie, Director General of the Sierra Leone Civil Aviation Authority, is scheduled to represent Sierra Leone at the Africa 100 Most Influential Persons Conference & Awards in Kigali, Rwanda, on 25 September 2026.

She is expected to take part in a live red-carpet engagement examining leadership in civil aviation, institutional excellence, investment opportunities and strategic partnerships across Africa’s aviation sector.

Focus on aviation leadership and investment

The programme is expected to include discussions on the performance of civil aviation authorities, opportunities for investment and the development of partnerships in the sector. A live question-and-answer session is also expected to address the future of aviation in Africa.
