CSA Director-General and Youth Minister Visit MVTC to Review “One Chair, One Child” Project
MONROVIA, LIBERIA - On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, the Director-General of the Civil Service Agency (CSA), Hon. Josiah F. Joekai Jr., Ph.D., accompanied by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Hon. Jeror Cole Bangalu, visited the Monrovia Vocational Training Center (MVTC) to review the progress of the “One Chair, One Child” initiative.
The “One Chair, One Child” project is fully funded by salary savings from government officials who did not declare their assets, amounting to approximately $104,000 USD collected in February 2025. These funds are being used to support President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr.’s ARREST agenda, which aims to drive economic growth, improve infrastructure, and enhance education and human capital development in Liberia.
During the visit, Dr. Joekai emphasized the significance of the initiative, stating, “The One Chair, One Child initiative is about giving every child a seat to learn and grow. It’s a step towards better classrooms and brighter futures.” The production of the chairs is progressing steadily under the supervision of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, with the goal of providing every child in Liberia with access to quality education.
The creation of these chairs not only supports the President's agenda but also stimulates the local economy by empowering Liberian crafts and skills. Upon completion, the chairs will be presented to the CSA and then officially submitted to President Boakai for formal delivery to the Ministry of Education, which will oversee nationwide distribution to schools.
This initiative serves as a symbol of hope, unity, and a shared commitment to uplifting education for every child in Liberia. By providing children with the tools they need to thrive, the government is investing in the future of Liberia’s youth and promoting a brighter future for the nation
