For Immediate Release

President Boakai Welcomes New UL President, Pledges Support for the University’s Growth

January 9, 2025

Executive Mansion, Monrovia-President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has reaffirmed his Administration’s commitment to advancing education in Liberia, expressing confidence in the newly appointed President of the University of Liberia (UL), Dr. Layli Maparyan.

President Boakai, who is also the Visitor to the University, shared his optimism during an official meeting with Dr. Maparyan at the Executive Mansion earlier today.

Speaking during the meeting, President Boakai warmly welcomed Dr. Maparyan, stating that her appointment marks a new chapter for the University of Liberia.

“Liberia is not new to you, and we are excited to have you at the helm of this historic institution,” the President remarked.

He expressed hope that her leadership would propel the University toward transformative growth, ensuring its alignment with national priorities, particularly in education and workforce development as outlined in the Government’s ARREST Agenda.

President Boakai also commended the UL Board of Trustees for their dedication and rigorous efforts throughout the selection process, noting that their decision to unanimously approve Dr. Maparyan reflects their commitment to excellence in leadership. “The Board’s work was thorough, and we appreciate the diligence it took to reach this point,” he said.

Board of Trustees Chairman, Grand Kru County Senator Numene T.H. Bartekwa, presented Dr. Maparyan to the President, expressing his confidence in her ability to address the longstanding challenges facing the University.

Outgoing UL President, Dr. Al-Hassan Conteh, also lauded the integrity of the selection process, noting that it adhered to international standards and brought forth a highly qualified leader.

In response, Dr. Maparyan expressed gratitude for the warm welcome and pledged to dedicate herself fully to the University’s progress. She reflected on her first visit to Liberia in 2009 and described her new role as a fulfillment of her dream to serve the nation.

“Liberia is no longer just my second home—it is now my first home,” she said, underscoring her personal and professional commitment to Liberia’s advancement.

The special convocation to officially induct Dr. Maparyan as President of the University of Liberia is scheduled for tomorrow, January 10, 2025, at the Fendall Campus.

The University is expected to resume normal operations on Monday, January 13, 2025.

(Monrovia, Liberia, January 8, 2025) – In an effort aimed at moving to protect public health and the environment, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia and the National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL) have officially signed the Lead Paint Regulations. The signing ceremony held on Wednesday, January 8, 2024, at the EPA’s conference hall, brought together representatives from both institutions and other stakeholders.

The regulation limits the lead content in residential and decorative paints to 90 parts per million (ppm), aligning with ECOWAS standards, and aims to eliminate the production, sale, and importation of lead-based paints in Liberia within three years.

Focus on Liberia: Educate,Elevate & Promote all things Liberia

Focus on Liberia, a registered nonprofit organization in the state of Georgia was established to promote, elevate and educate on the culture, history and values of Liberia as well as to fill the information gap on what the country stands for. Most of what is known about Liberia outside of Liberia and even among Liberians themselves is simply a minute portion of the true history and culture of Liberia. For example, beyond Liberia being formed by freed slaves in 1822 and known for the civil war, Ebola and having the first female elected president in Africa, Focus on Liberia endeavors to excavate and popularize the rich history and culture of Liberia and promote the excellent achievements and work of Liberians across the globe.
