Maryland Women Pay Courtesy Visit, Honor President Boakai for Development Gains
The delegation, led to the President by Cllr. Gloria Musu Scott, former Senator of Maryland County and former Chief Justice of Liberia, used the occasion to commend President Boakai for what they said are visible improvements in the lives of Liberians, particularly residents of Southeastern Liberia.
The women specifically recognized the improvement of the road network leading to Maryland County, the construction of the Cavalla River Bridge, the upgrading of the Pleebo Health Center, and the deployment of heavy road equipment, popularly known as “Yellow Machines,” to support road maintenance across the country.
They also applauded the Government’s efforts to promote peace and stability through the review of concession agreements and welcomed the reduction in transportation fares by the National Transit Authority, noting that the measures have helped ease the financial burden on ordinary Liberians.
The traditional women said their visit was intended not only to express appreciation but also to honor President Boakai for what they characterized as a renewed focus on development, peace, infrastructure, and the well-being of the Liberian people.
Receiving the delegation, President Boakai expressed gratitude for their visit and for the recognition of his Administration’s development efforts.
President Boakai said he was particularly encouraged that citizens were taking note of developments taking place across the country, emphasizing that the ultimate measure of national progress is the improvement of the lives of ordinary Liberians.
The President noted that the development programs and priorities being pursued by his Administration had been on his mind long before he sought the presidency, adding that he remains encouraged by the progress being made in critical sectors of national development.
President Boakai further stated that grateful people are always blessed by God, and assured the delegation that he remains focused on advancing the objectives of the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development.
The Liberian Leader stressed that national development must translate into tangible improvements in the daily lives of citizens, particularly through better roads, improved health and educational infrastructure, access to essential services, and expanded opportunities to lift Liberians out of poverty.
President Boakai thanked the women for honoring him with their visit and assured them that his Administration will continue to prioritize initiatives that respond to the needs of the Liberian people and advance sustainable national development.
