(GOVT. PRESS SECRETARY)- Sealed by Cabinet approval Wednesday this week, Sagauga Leilani Galuvao has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Land Transport Authority for the next three years.
Sagauga was one of five shortlisted applicants and was unanimously recommended by the Selection Panel for Cabinet’s approval.
A graduate of the University of Auckland New Zealand with a Bachelor of Science, Sagauga’s appointment is a reflection of close to three decades of skills and experience in Samoa’s public service. She commences her new role having been the Assistant CEO for the Ministry of Works Transport and Infrastructure, responsible for regulating the Land Transport subsector over the last nine years.
A matai of the village of Apia with roots in Avao, Faleula and Sasina, Sagauga is following her older brother Tuiletufuga Leasi John Galuvao’s footsteps into the Office of the Chief Executive of the Land Transport Authority.
Tuiletufuga Leasi was the first LTA Chief Executive from 2009 followed by Galumalemana Taatiaoleitiiti Tutuvanu in 2018 until her resignation in 2023 due to family obligations.
