Wednesday, July 30, 2025
Executive Mansion, Monrovia – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has extended profound gratitude to citizens across the nation and around the world for the remarkable display of patriotism and unity during the 178th Independence Day celebrations.
In a special message to the nation, President Boakai praised the unprecedented scale and spirit of this year’s commemorations, which spanned the entire country and reached Liberian communities in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Egypt, and other parts of the diaspora.
“These were not mere celebrations,” the President said. “They represented a profound expression of renewed faith, national pride, and a collective commitment to a new Liberia.” He asserted.
The President noted that the widespread enthusiasm reflects growing confidence in the country’s future, and reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to integrity, reconciliation, and sustainable development.
While acknowledging the challenges Liberia continues to face, President Boakai called on all Liberians at home and abroad to remain engaged and united in building a better nation.
He emphasized the important role of the Liberian diaspora in the country’s transformation and confirmed his administration’s full support for the upcoming National Diaspora Conference in Washington, D.C. The conference, he said, will serve as a vital platform to enhance collaboration, tap into diaspora expertise, and align national development strategies with the talents and resources of Liberians living abroad.
“Liberia is rising, and this is our time,” President Boakai declared. “Let us Think Liberia, Love Liberia, and Build Liberia—together.” He noted.
He further encouraged citizens to carry the momentum forward by actively participating in reconciliation efforts, pursuing economic opportunities, and investing in local communities.
The President also reminded the nation of the upcoming National Day of Prayer, scheduled for Wednesday, July 30, 2025, and called on all Liberians to gather in their various places of worship to offer prayers for healing, reconciliation, and lasting peace.
