Monrovia – In a move to develop sports throughout Liberia Youth and Sports Minister D. Zeogar Wilson says there is the need to have a sport development tax on certain commodities imported in Liberia including alcohol beverages and cigarettes. The Sports Minister asserted that said tax, if paid by consumers in Liberia, would be used directly for the development and transformation of the sporting sector. “If acted upon, funds collected will help reduce the financial situation and bring about sports development across the country,” Minister Zeogar said. He stressed that it is now time for the government to help in enhancing the good work of the Liberia Football Association (LFA). Currently through the support of the world Football Governing Body(FIFA), three mini stadiums with Artificial turfs have been completed and turned over to the Liberia Football Association.
