Ms J. Jeneba Bangura has served as Deputy Minister of Finance 1 since August 2023 until appointed by His Excellency the President, Brigadier (Rtd) Julius Maada Bio, of the Republic of Sierra Leone, as the 6th Commissioner-General of the National Revenue Authority.
A significant highlight of her tenure was leading the 2024 National Budget Legislative discussions, where she provided answers and insights to the Speaker, Honourable Members, and the general public. Though she served at the National Revenue Authority (NRA) of Sierra Leone for only five years, her contributions to operational improvements and sweeping reforms in systems automation across the institution have been transformative.
