FREETOWN, May 12 -- Sierra Leone President Julius Maada Bio on Saturday promised in his inaugural speech to provide disciplined and inclusive leadership.
Bio, who was elected after a hotly contested election on March 31 and sworn in as president on April 4, was inaugurated on Saturday in a colorful ceremony at the Siaka Steven Stadium in Freetown.
Delivering his inaugural speech, the president emphasized that "I am president for all Sierra Leoneans irrespective political or regional belongings."
He reiterated the provision of free quality education as the flagship program of his new administration.

"I will build on and consolidate the gains made over the years to transform the country through my New Direction policy," he said.
He cited discipline as the underlined principle of his new administration and that he would declare three peaceful democratic wars on indiscipline, corruption and poverty.
"I will provide disciplined leadership to drive this Democratic peaceful war."
He cited youth empowerment as one of his priorities and promised to build on and consolidate bilateral relationship Sierra Leone has with other countries.
