President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has commissioned new executives of the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) and Ambassadors representing Liberia in various countries. The ceremony took place at the Executive Mansion in Monrovia.
During the event, President Boakai emphasized his commitment to national development and integrity in public service. He highlighted the importance of financial leaders and diplomatic representatives in advancing Liberia's progress. "We must look within ourselves and recognize that no country can be greater than its own people’s commitment to building it," President Boakai stated. He reminded Liberians that "public service is not about personal gain; it is about working for the Liberian people those in Monrovia and all across the nation." He noted, "We have everything we need here to build a stronger Liberia, and if we manage our resources well, we can achieve sustainable progress."
The President stressed that the leadership of the Central Bank is crucial for economic stability, financial growth, and policies benefiting all Liberians. The newly appointed Ambassadors are tasked with representing Liberia's interests abroad, strengthening diplomatic ties, and promoting Liberia’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
“Your role as Ambassadors is not just to hold a title; it is to sell Liberia, to promote our nation on the international stage, and to represent our values with dignity,” declared President Boakai.
He expressed confidence in their ability to serve with commitment and integrity despite challenges ahead. The President urged appointees to perform their duties with devotion to God and love for their country.
