FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

President Boakai Calls for Accelerated Renovation of University of Liberia Campuses

August 5, 2026

Monrovia, Liberia : President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has directed the Administration of the University of Liberia to immediately accelerate the renovation and modernization of its campuses, expressing serious concern over the slow pace of implementation despite significant Government investment.

The President's directive followed a high-level coordination meeting convened at the Executive Mansion on Tuesday, August 4, 2026 to assess the status of the University of Liberia's infrastructure rehabilitation program and identify measures to fast-track the reopening of the institution. The meeting brought together the Ministers of State for Presidential Affairs, Finance and Development Planning, Public Works, Local Government, and Education, together with the University's leadership, Board of Trustees, and other key stakeholders.

It may be recalled that the Government appropriated approximately US$6.3 million for the renovation and modernization of facilities across the University of Liberia. While the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning has processed the necessary funding, President Boakai noted that he has not received sufficient evidence of substantial physical work on the ground. The meeting was therefore convened to establish the actual status of implementation, identify the causes of delay, and agree on practical measures to accelerate progress.

During the meeting, the University Administration outlined its phased renovation strategy, which includes the construction of a new twenty-five-classroom building at the Fendall Campus, the modernization of the University's largest academic building, and targeted rehabilitation works at the Capitol Hill and Sinje campuses. The University acknowledged, however, that major construction activities have yet to commence, citing technical delays associated with the procurement system.

Participants also agreed that while long-term modernization remains essential, urgent rehabilitation works affecting student safety and learning conditions, including roofing, sanitation, water supply, sewage systems, and structurally deficient facilities, must receive immediate attention before the University's reopening. The Ministry of Public Works was tasked with working closely with the University to validate project designs, implementation timelines, and technical priorities, while the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning committed to addressing procurement bottlenecks to ensure the timely commencement of works.

The Board of Trustees of the University will continue to closely monitor progress and work to improve working relations and better coordination among faculty, administration, and staff. The University Administration and Board of Trustees were also directed to engage faculty and students and maintain regular communication regarding renovation activities and reopening arrangements.

The meeting concluded with a comprehensive action plan that includes the immediate establishment of a joint technical team, the preparation of a costed and sequenced implementation program, the resolution of procurement challenges, and the creation of a Coordination Committee to be co-chaired by the Ministry of Public Works and the UL Administration. Other members of the Coordinating Committee include the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, Education, and the Ministry of State.

President Boakai reaffirmed that improving the quality of higher education remains a priority of his Administration under the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development. He emphasized that the Government has made the necessary financial commitment and expects corresponding urgency in implementation, stressing that Liberia's premier public university must provide students and faculty with a safe, modern, and conducive learning environment.

The President called on all institutions involved to work collaboratively, remove administrative bottlenecks, and ensure that visible progress is achieved without further delay.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

"If Africa Is Going to Be Built, It Has to Be Built by Africans"
.…President Boakai Pledges Full Government Support as First Atlantic Bank Launches in Liberia

Friday, July 31, 2026

9th Street, Sinkor: President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has called on Africans to be the drivers of Africa's economy, asserting that if Africa must experience economic transformation, it must be driven by Africans themselves.

Officially launching and commissioning the First Atlantic Bank Liberia, on Friday, July 31, 2026 at the Bank’s Headquarters, President Boakai said the bank's entry into the Liberian market as a powerful vote of confidence in the country's improving investment climate and an important milestone for regional economic cooperation. "If you don't have confidence in your own economies, who do you expect to have that confidence?"

He said the successful establishment of the bank proved that serious African investors are prepared to back Liberia's economic recovery, and lauded the Ghanaian investors behind the bank for demonstrating action rather than empty promises, and pledged his administration's commitment to creating a secure and investor-friendly environment to attract credible investments into Liberia.

President Boakai further assured the new bank that his government would continue to guarantee security and implement reforms aimed at making Liberia an attractive destination for investment. "Africans can trust one another to come and do business, and we want to assure you that our government will work with you to make sure that you succeed," he emphasized.

In furtherance, the Liberian Leader noted that the growing number of investors entering the country reflects increasing confidence in the government's economic agenda and pointed to encouraging assessments from the Central Bank of Liberia and the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning as evidence that the country is making meaningful progress. "Liberia is now moving in a very serious way. We are opening up the country and putting in place the conditions that make this environment conducive and attractive for investment," he said.

Highlighting the longstanding relationship between Liberia and Ghana, President Boakai said the two nations remain committed to working together to advance Africa's development agenda, and confidence that stronger partnerships among African countries would help drive the continent's future growth and prosperity.
