Liberia: President Sirleaf Dedicates Development Projects

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has dedicated separate development projects on Tubman Boulevard in Bentol and the Freeport of Monrovia. She said Liberia will experience growth and development when people are committed and take ownership. The growth and development of the country, she said, cannot be only about the many hospitals and schools built, but rather by the way Liberians conduct themselves. Liberians should take responsibility to sustain their growth and development and not always rely on others, she added.

"Development comes from people's commitment to their own development, through the way you talk, think, walk, what you say, how you do it," she said. "Until we can take responsibility for our own development, please do not depend on anybody else, because they can help, but at the end of the day, they will not always be there with you."
