This essay examines Fula business-government relations in post independence Sierra Leone. It focuses on Muslim Fula business elites. In particular, the essay examines two key themes where the Fula interacted with the Sierra Leonean government: immigration and business. The period covered is from 1961, the date of independence, under the rule of the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) led by Sir Milton Margai.
