Delivering his keynote address at the induction ceremony of the Carbadae Apoliebo Organisation held over the weekend, Senator Duncan said there is a wind of change blowing in Sinoe County, and gone are those days when people only ride on tribalism to be elected. He narrated that the politicians use those means to do nothing for the voters but only focus on enriching themselves.
“Your vote we politicians because of where we came from and we politicians use that means to not do nothing for your but we only look after our children, wives and close relatives” Duncan said
The Sinoe County Senator asserted that politicians should be held accountable for being elected. He commended the outgoing president for peacefully turning over power especially in Africa.
“Two weeks prior to the program, CAPO extended an invitation to me and, in their official communication, the organization appealed for support toward their solar lighting project, which aims to install 150 solar lights in remote communities across Carbadae and I will also provide 100 pieces of lights , worth over 12,000 USD”
Meanwhile, the newly inducted Chairperson of CAPO, Mr. Sennay Carlor III, expressed profound gratitude to Senator Duncan for both honoring their invitation and making a substantial commitment to the project.
“This donation will go a long way in bringing light to communities that have long lived in darkness,” he stated. “We are grateful for the senator’s leadership and timely intervention.”
Meanwhile, Deputy Minister for Trade and Commerce at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Wilmot A Reeves encouraged the 48th graduates of the Assembly of God Mission Schools (Old Road AG) to embrace humble beginnings while nurturing bold dreams for Liberia’s transformation.
Delivering his keynote address, Reeves urged the graduates not to “despise small beginnings,” but instead to see their early efforts as the foundation for greater achievements, stating that little dream, that small business idea, that early job, it may be the seed that grows into a mighty tree.
He highlighted the connection between learning and nation-building, he narrated that while education empowers individuals, it is service that gives education its true meaning.
Reeves calls on all young Liberians to combine education, ambition, and service as tools to rebuild and transform the nation.
“You too will discover that true success is not measured by titles or wealth, but by the lives you impact. Whatever you become, a doctor, teacher, engineer, pastor, entrepreneur, let your knowledge serve your family, community, and nation. Liberia’s development is waiting for your contributions” He said
Mr. Wilmot A Reeves Call for Transformation From Graduates to Leaders
“My dear graduates, this ceremony is not the end of your education; it is the beginning of your responsibility. The true test of your achievement is not this diploma, but what you do with it.
• Where corruption persists, be the leaders of integrity.
• Where poverty lingers, be the creators of opportunity.
• Where division threatens, be the builders of unity.
• Where hopelessness spreads, be the messengers of hope.
You are the generation that can break the cycles of failure and poverty that have held us back. You are the generation that can turn Liberia into a land of prosperity and justice. But you must first transform yourselves before you can transform your country.” Reeves narrated.
Giving a message of Hope the Deputy Commerce Minister share a brief story to the 48th graduating class of the Assembly of God’s Mission High School
“Let me share a brief story. When I worked in Kenya, I met a young woman from a rural village in Homa Bay County, Joyce Adhiambo Omollo. She had little formal education, but she had vision. She started with a small poultry farm, just a few chickens. Many laughed at her. But she persisted. Within a few years, she expanded her farm, employed dozens of people, and became a supplier to supermarkets across the country.
What was her secret? She refused to accept her limits. She combined vision, discipline, and faith.
The same principle applies to you. Whether you choose academia, business, ministry, or public service, refuse to accept limits. With God on you” By: Andrew B Weah, 0770637216/0886429103, andrewbweah@gmail.com
