Press Release
The management of the Liberian Agricultural (LAC) at the week-end presented six brand new Toyota- Hilux Pickups to increase its Transport Department Fleet.
This natural rubber plantation company is based in Grand Bassa County in the south of Liberia.
Welcoming guests during the presentation program on Friday, November 18, 2022, LAC’s Human Resource and Administration Manager of LAC Harry M. Attoh said, ‘’as we assemble in fulfillment of Management’s promised to provide not only vehicles but brand-new vehicles but more besides to appreciate, despite the difficult financial situation that the management is faced with is not only one, two neither three but six brand new vehicles.’’
Mr. Attoh averred that on like previous dedicatory programs, those vehicles were assigned specifically to drivers, but now you can see that the managers themselves will be driving these vehicles to perform their official duty.
LAC management and senior staff
LAC Human Resource and Administration Manager stressed that driving a vehicle is significant for people in general, because it provides status and the opportunity for personal control and independence. Assigning each employee a specific vehicle that is theirs and theirs alone will show them that management believes they can be relied upon to do their job to the company’s expectations. Sharing a vehicle with another employee can be difficult.
Mr. Attoh lamented that each person does things differently so there may be conflicts between drivers. Knowing that the vehicle assigned will not have another driver encourages each employee to care for the vehicle as if it is their own and neglect is less likely. He further that ‘’we want to commend the acting General Manager, Mr. Naveen Madam to convey to the board and the General Manager for the fulfillment of their obligation.
Making a special statement at the ceremony, the acting General Manager/ Plantation Manager, Mr. Naveen Madam lauded the General Manager and the Financial Manager for making funds available for the purchase of the vehicles. He said the vehicles will be helpful for the job also caution the users to observe the safety protocols and maintain their vehicle well. He also stressed that if you maintain your vehicle well not only it will give you long service but it will also give you pleasure to sit inside and drive but also the occupants will be save as well.’’ Mr. Naveen Madam caution the users the conduct the vehicle maintenance on time.

For LAWU, the vice President, Mr. Philip Foko commended the management and said that the management should try her conceivable best to provide a vehicle for their Union to enable them run the Union effectively.
