With all the natural resources in this country, so we can't still stand on our own?

On the same tree and on the same branch. There's time for everything.
Even though you and someone must have been born the same day, it's certainly not possible that both of you die the same day.
Why worry when someone is ahead of you in success?
Life is not about competition, but challenge. Therefore, be who you are, till you get what you want.

The equipment include cargo trucks, military protective assault vehicles, armored personnel carriers, combat jeeps, bulldozers, cranes, fuel tanks, fire truck, along with mounted weapon systems, spare parts and other materiel.

But since the equipment were turned over to Liberia, the consignment which is stored at the Continental Logistics Base in Douala, Cameroon are yet to be brought to Liberia.

Sinoe County Senator Cllr. Augustine Chea has descended on the Boakai administration; described Liberia under the Unity Party rule as lawless with the administration allegedly disregarding the rule of law.


Senator Chea said leaders are meant to set standards but Liberia for the past one year has experienced an increase in lawlessness due to government failure to govern well.


According to him the rule of law is a foundation of any democratic governance but said it is unfortunate that the UP government has not done much to maintain peace in the country.


He made the statement late Sunday evening when he served as installing officer of the Tarjuowon United Development Association in the Jamaica Road community.

Grand Kru County Strengthens TVET Programs for Youth Empowerment

By: Shedrick Tarwily

Grand Kru County Superintendent Antoinette Nimley has taken significant steps to revitalize Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Forpoh and Trehn Districts. On December 3, 2024, Superintendent Nimley facilitated a four-hour meeting with the Deputy Minister of TVET at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, alongside administrators from the Trembo and Forpoh Vocational Institutes.

The meeting aimed to address lingering issues between the Ministry and the two vocational institutions. It was deemed successful, with the Ministry assuring a strengthened working relationship with the institutes. The discussion also included a review of findings from the Ministry’s monitoring and evaluation team, which conducted an assessment in Grand Kru County in September 2024.

The establishment of these vocational institutes is expected to significantly enhance TVET education for the youth of Grand Kru County. Alongside the Grand Kru Technical College in Barclayville, these institutions will provide local students with access to technical and vocational training, reducing the need for them to relocate to the county capital.

The Forpoh and Trembo Vocational Training Institutes were established through legislation enacted by the 54th Legislature to offer basic technical and vocational education to the people of Grand Kru. Superintendent Nimley, prioritizing capacity building, has intensified efforts to ensure the full operationalization of these institutions. These initiatives aim to empower the next generation with skills critical for self-reliance and economic development.

In her remarks, Superintendent Nimley emphasized the importance of equipping the youth with practical skills to address unemployment and foster community development. "TVET education is a cornerstone for sustainable progress. By providing access to quality vocational training, we are empowering our young people to build better futures for themselves and their communities," she said.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports has pledged its continued support, focusing on improving infrastructure, resources, and faculty development for the institutes. As plans for full operations progress, residents of Forpoh and Trehn Districts anticipate the transformative impact these programs will have on their lives.
