Niger
Sierra Leone passport holders do not need a visa to visit Niger.
Niger's embassy in Turkey says a visa is mandatory to enter Niger except for nationals of the member states of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and of certain states with which Niger has agreements abolishing short-stay visas.
“Le visa est obligatoire pour entrer au Niger sauf pour les ressortissants des pays membres de la Communauté Economique des Etats de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO) et de certains Etats avec lesquels le Niger est lié par des accords sur la suppression de visa de court séjour.”

Sierra Leone citizens can enter Niger without a visa. You only need a valid Sierra Leone passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay.
Whatever your visa status, Niger applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Niger lets 19 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 179. Sierra Leone citizens are treated the same way as Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chad and Côte d'Ivoire. Overall the Sierra Leone passport ranks #125 in the world with 39 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Africa? With a Sierra Leone passport you can also visit 18 countries in the region without a visa, including Burkina Faso, Benin, Botswana, Côte d'Ivoire, Cape Verde, Ghana, Gambia and Guinea.
In the other direction, Niger citizens can visit Sierra Leone visa-free for up to 90 days.
