Liberia: Pres. Boakai Urges Bold UN Reform, Stronger African Voice Ahead of Secretary-General Election
President Boakai praised the work of the African Union Committee of Ten, known as the C10, for ensuring that African perspectives remain central to discussions on UN reform. Describing the upcoming Secretary-General selection as more than an administrative decision, Boakai said it would shape the credibility and direction of the organization at a time of urgent global need. President Boakai urged African leaders to articulate clearly what qualities they seek in the next UN chief and to speak with unity during the selection process. President Boakai called for reform efforts that address deeper issues of relevance, effectiveness, and trust within the UN system. “The future of the United Nations will be shaped by those who choose to lead with clarity and courage,” he said.

Liberia Leads the Charge Toward West Africa’s Single Currency
Taking the reins during the council’s 13th ordinary meeting in Farmington, Ngafuan is now tasked with steering member states toward the long-anticipated launch of the “ECO”—a single West African currency currently slated for July 2027. The Council serves as the primary watchdog for economic policy across ECOWAS states, monitoring the strict macroeconomic conditions required for a stable monetary union. These challenges are compounded by unresolved institutional hurdles, such as burden-sharing arrangements and the eventual headquarters of the regional central bank. Furthermore, net international reserves climbed to over $282 million by the end of 2025, surpassing IMF program targets by nearly $16 million. According to Abdul Salam Abideyemi, Director General of the West Africa Monetary Institute, the composite convergence score for the West African Monetary Zone rose to 58.3% from the previous year’s 50%.

He noted that throughout years of political tension and uncertainty, Liberians have consistently relied on the Supreme Court to resolve disputes peacefully.
