The women are expected to graduate soon, thus leading to a life changing empowerment for them.

Mr. A. Victor B. Tokpah has cautioned every young people of Liberia especially students to be involved in Liberia’s development.

According to him, if young people of Liberia must be involved in building the country, there is a need for quality education to be transferred to the current generation.
