President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has contributed 186-thousand Liberian dollars to the Lofa County University Students Association (LUSA) as part payment to settle tuition arrears owed the University of Liberia by the students.
Making the contribution Monday on behalf of the President on the campus of the University, the Assistant Chief of Staff for Logistics at the Ministry of State, Mr. Varney Sirleaf, said President Johnson Sirleaf was gratified by the development role played by Lofa citizens through the University. Mr. Sirleaf assured the University students that the President will respond positively to all promises made by her in Lofa County during a cabinet retreat early this year in Voinjama.
Receiving the contribution, the President of the Association, Mr. J. Lavela Massaquoi, thanked the President and said the people of Lofa through the University students, will continue to remain supportive of the development initiatives of Government. Mr. Lavela lauded the Liberian leader for the progress towards improving the education sector of the country. He made specific reference to the establishment of the Liberian Education Trust (LET). The effort, the Lofa University Student leader said will go a long way in buttressing government's educational initiatives.
The President's contribution, an Executive Mansion release says is in response to a request made by the Lofa County University Students' Association for assistance in settling tuition arrears owed the University by students from the area.
