Monrovia – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has officially commissioned the ELWA–RIA Highway Street Lights Project, marking a significant milestone in the electrification of the main corridor leading to Liberia’s only international airport. Speaking at the event, President Boakai commended the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC), the Ministry of Public Works, and the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation for providing essential services to Liberians, particularly to underserved communities. “Maybe people don’t understand, but turning on the lights, giving water to people, fixing the road—these show respect and dignity. It’s like telling the people that we are all human beings,” President Boakai said. President Boakai noted that during his visits across the country, citizens consistently raise concerns about access to electricity, water, and roads.
