His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr.
President of the Republic of Liberia
at the
West Africa Economic Summit (WAES) 2025

Abuja International Conference Centre

Abuja, Federal Republic of Nigeria
Saturday, June 21, 2025

Your Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chairperson of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government;
Your Excellencies, Presidents and Heads of State and Government of the ECOWAS Authority;
Esteemed Leaders of the ECOWAS Commission;
Honorable Ministers;
Representatives of International Organizations, the Private Sector and NGOs;
Trade Representatives;
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen:

It is an honor to join this important gathering of Heads of State and Government, economic policymakers, business leaders, and regional stakeholders who remain committed to the cause of a peaceful, prosperous, and integrated West Africa, in this gathering of leaders.

On behalf of the Government and people of Liberia, I bring you warm greetings and best wishes for a productive and inspiring summit.

Let me first extend special appreciation to my friend and Brother, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chairperson of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, for his visionary leadership and for convening this timely and strategic Summit.

This Summit, being held in the ambience of our Community’s golden jubilee, provides a vital platform for reflection, coordination, and renewed commitment to the economic transformation of our sub-region. Even after 50 years of our existence and work, the challenges we face are still present and complex, but they are not insurmountable.

Your Excellencies, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen;

It gives me great pleasure to officially inform this distinguished gathering of Liberia’s recent election to a Non-Permanent Seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2026 to 2027 term.

This milestone would not have been possible without the support, encouragement, and endorsement of Member States in this very room. Liberia is humbled by this vote of confidence. We view it not only as a national honor but as a reflection of our collective aspiration to contribute meaningfully to global peace, dialogue, and multilateralism.

We pledge to carry this mandate with humility and responsibility, drawing on Liberia’s unique post-conflict experience and our unwavering belief in diplomacy, peace-building, and international cooperation.

Your Excellencies;

As we chart a path toward economic renewal, consistent with the well thought out theme of this Submit, Liberia strongly supports the African Continental Free Trade Area as a transformative platform for economic integration.

Our budgetary priorities are increasingly focused on sustainable agriculture and rural transformation, aligning with the AfCFTA’s goals. We are investing in road networks and port infrastructure to support the seamless movement of goods and services across our borders.

These actions reflect Liberia’s determination to play an active role in the regional and continental value chain. Liberia has also identified several priority sectors for strategic investment:
• Agriculture, where we seek to scale productivity, increase food security, and promote agribusiness.
• Ports and Logistics, where efforts are underway to modernize the Free Port of Monrovia and other key gateways to improve competitiveness and trade efficiency.
• Energy, where we are expanding access to affordable and reliable electricity to support economic diversification and industrial development.
• Digital Economy, where we are investing in infrastructure and human capital to enable innovation and position Liberia as a destination for technology-driven enterprise.

We are working in close coordination with ECOWAS and the Mano River Union to harmonize policies, reduce trade barriers, and enhance competitiveness.

Through the implementation of our recently launched ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development, Liberia is pursuing comprehensive reform to foster economic growth, strengthen institutions, and improve public service delivery. Our vision is to transform Liberia into a stable, transparent, and attractive destination for private sector investment and inclusive development.

Excellencies, Distinguished Heads of Government and Delegation, Ladies and Gentlemen;

Peace and stability are the foundation upon which all economic aspirations must rest. Liberia remains fully committed to promoting productive sub-regional interaction, peace, national cohesion, and democratic governance throughout the region. We continue to avail ourselves to the ECOWAS Community in critical areas of mediation, conflict prevention, and post-crisis stabilization.

At the 66th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority, Liberia called for renewed dialogue with Member States who have taken a divergent path.

Today, I wish to echo that appeal. We must keep the door open for engagement and reconciliation, especially to our sister states that have unfortunately exited the Community.

With Liberia’s ascension to the Security Council, we are determined to be a principled voice for the region, advocating for just solutions to global and regional challenges and advancing the values that unite us.

I commend each of you for your steadfast leadership and for the efforts you continue to make in advancing the goals of economic integration and prosperity.

Let us seize this opportunity to deepen our collaboration, mobilize our collective resources, and transform the potential of our region into lasting progress for our people.

Long live the Economic Community of West African States.

I thank you, and may the Almighty continue to bless our efforts.

Press Statement on False Allegations Against MD Sekou Hussein Dukuly

The Cyber Team categorically condemns and strongly refutes the ongoing smear campaign and fake news being circulated on social media and other platforms alleging that Managing Director Sekou Hussein Dukuly was involved in duping a Chinese national.

We wish to make it absolutely clear that these allegations are entirely false, misleading, and appear to be a coordinated effort to tarnish the image of a respectable public servant. The actual situation, as now confirmed by investigations and independent sources, is that a Chinese national was duped by another Chinese national in a private business arrangement — an unfortunate matter that had absolutely nothing to do with MD Dukuly.

Contrary to the false reports, MD Dukuly himself was misled during the process and is, in fact, a victim rather than a perpetrator in this affair. At no point was he involved in any fraudulent transaction, and no evidence has surfaced to support the baseless claims being peddled online.

We call on the public and the media to desist from spreading unverified and defamatory content that seeks to damage reputations without facts. The Cyber Team is closely monitoring these developments, and we will take legal action where necessary against individuals or groups deliberately spreading disinformation.

MD Sekou Hussein Dukuly remains committed to transparency, professionalism, and ethical leadership. We urge everyone to focus on the facts and allow due process to prevail.

NFAA SUPPORTS SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM AT ARTHINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOL

The National Food Assistance Agency (NFAA), through direct funding from the National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP) donated several food items on June 18, 2025 to the Arthington Public School in rural Montserrado County as part of government’s efforts in revitalizing the agency’s pre-war statutory mandate to sustain school feeding programs across the country.

The assorted food items delivered to the schoolchildren and their parents on the compound of the school included 25kg bags of rice, most of which are locally produced, bunches of plantain, corn porridge (‘Kokodolo’), cartoons of sardine, gallons of palm and argo oil, and sacs of mineral drinking water.

In separate remarks that preceded the formal presentation of the items, the Deputy Director General for Operations (DDGO), Hon. Elton S. Dickson and the Program Officer, Ms. Annie Markelee Flomo said the gesture is powered by NASSCORP, a state corporation that is interested in promoting the President’s ARREST agenda for the welfare of the food-insecure segments of the Liberian population to improve the food security and nutrition situation in the country.

According to DDGO Dickson, the food donation to the school is in response to an assessment NFAA conducted a few months ago, revealing the need to support partners in carrying out school feeding for positive learning outcomes. He told parents and some local government officials, headed by Mayor Romeo R. Clarke of the City of Arthington that President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s vision of thinking, loving and building Liberia is for the welfare of all Liberians. “I want to tell you that President Boakai is thinking about your good future, this is why he is making this agency stronger to keep you in school and encourage your other friends who are not in school to also come to school,” Hon. Dickson told scores of jubilant schoolchildren in Arthington City.

Receiving the food items, the Principal of the school, Mr. Jerome O. Peterson thanked the NFAA team for the donation and assured the agency his commitment to ensuring that each school-going child receives ration of the food commodities. Referring to himself as the cluster head of all schools in Arthington, Mr. Peterson disclosed that he had worked tirelessly over the period to derive a disaggregated data of public schoolchildren in various schools existing in Arthington City.
He said the data had since been submitted to Hon. Clarke, emphasizing that all students captured in the data would benefit from the President’s vision of seeing all public schoolchildren smile while in school as a way of boosting enrollment in public schools across the country.

The Principal however disclosed that he had a conversation with Mary’s Meal, an international NGO involved with school feeding program, concerning plans to end the feeding program by the end of the month of June. “I just received a call from Mary’s Meal that the school feeding program will end in this month until next year. So, for the rest of the month up to July, our students would come to school and just go home like that,” the Cluster Head bemoaned. But, according to him, when news of NFAA’s intervention reached Arthington, hopes were awakened again signifying government’s care for its citizens.

Meanwhile, Mayor Romeo R. Clarke recounted the number of engagements he had had with NFAA that culminated into food aid delivery to the public school, saying the agency’s food assistance came at the time when Mary’s Meal is rethinking its commitment to continuously provide the feeding in the face of current global aid cuts. He then lauded President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for ensuring the legal establishment and rebranding of NFAA for the good of Liberia and its citizens.

With the year 2030 set as the global target to achieve ‘zero hunger’, the National Food Assistance Agency (NFAA) was recently legislated as a fully-fledged state institution with the mandate to coordinate all food assistance programs in Liberia in the bid to address and improve food security and nutrition situations in the country.

GoL and EU Sign €25 Million Financing Agreement to Boost Private Sector Development

Monrovia, June 16, 2025 — Liberia’s Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Hon. Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan, and the European Union Ambassador to Liberia, H.E. Nona Deprez, have signed a €25 million financing grant agreement for the Private Sector Development in Liberia Project.

The project aims to strengthen value addition in Liberia’s cassava, fisheries, and wood processing sectors, with a strong focus on supporting micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

It is designed to promote self-sufficiency, reduce import dependency, and stimulate net export growth—while creating sustainable and inclusive economic opportunities.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Ambassador Deprez reaffirmed the EU’s commitment to Liberia’s inclusive development.

“We are very honored to be here again today to sign this financing agreement on private sector development,” she said.

“This is a realistic package aligned with Liberia’s ARREST agenda, our Team Europe Initiative on food sustainability, and the broader Global Gateway Strategy.

We aim to foster women’s empowerment, youth entrepreneurship, and decent working conditions, especially in agriculture, fisheries, and forestry.”
Ambassador Deprez also underscored the EU's intent to work closely with Liberian institutions—including the Ministry of Commerce, National Investment Commission, and the Central Bank of Liberia—to ensure effective implementation and long-term sustainability.

Speaking on behalf of the Liberian Government, Minister Ngafuan praised the EU as a steadfast partner and reaffirmed Liberia’s commitment to enabling the private sector as the engine of economic growth.

“Each time we meet, good things happen for our country,” he said. “Today, we are here to sign an agreement that will drive real change in our private sector.

It’s no longer enough to talk about private sector-led growth—we must act. And this €25 million grant will help us walk that talk.”
Minister Ngafuan highlighted that the project will also enhance public-private dialogue and policy reform, contributing to a more conducive business environment.

He noted ongoing government efforts to reduce the cost of doing business, including improvements in road connectivity, expanded port services, and more reliable electricity—all critical enablers of private sector development.

“This support is timely and on point,” he added. “Jobs won’t come from government alone. The private sector must lead the way, and this project will help ensure that the cassava, fisheries, and wood processing industries truly thrive and create jobs for our people.”

The Private Sector Development in Liberia Project will focus on increasing productivity and improving standards to meet export market requirements and environmental sustainability goals.

It will also support regulatory reforms, expand access to finance for MSMEs, and foster stronger coordination between the public and private sectors.

This agreement builds on a series of ongoing collaborations between the EU and the Government of Liberia. Most recently, the EU committed approximately €62 million to support various development initiatives, including public financial management and regional energy projects.
