Monrovia - A youth activist and founder of the Youth Network for Reform, (YONER)-Liberia, Jarius Andrew Greaves, recently crossed the Mesurado River to meet with the River Union head on ways to help mitigate the situation regarding life jackets. Mr. Greaves said he read an FPA’s publication about the danger of posed to students and other passengers crossing the river without kife jackets. During the meeting held on the West Point side of the River, Eric D. Kwahin, General Manager, West Point Standard Sea and River Transport, welcomed his guests and outlined the major challenge of insufficient life jackets amongst others. Kwahin said when schools are in session, students make up half of the passengers that are ferried across the river. "Therefore the problem of security is serious.”Mr. Greaves and Kwahin exchanged contacts and Greaves promised to get back to the Canoe Transport Union as soon as possible regarding life jackets.
