Thanks to President Serleaf and his hard-working Minister Samuel Kofi Woods for their road construction iniatives in Lofa County. Atleast Liberians can be proud of a major road network in the north-western regions of Liberia, if, and only if, the projects are implemented successfully. Hope they succeed as they did with the Buchanan Highway. What remains importantly is the south-eastern regions of Liberia, particularly so, from mid-eastern Liberia to Maryland County known as the Ganta-Harper Highway. This project was initiated by the Samuel Doe Government, but the fate of the said project is a matter of history. It goes without saying that Government cannot bear the burden of all the demands of its citizens, yet, Government has the obligation to provide the mechanism by which the citizens can help themselves. Importantly, road-networks are cardinal to improving the livelihood of the ordinary Liberians. Roads will definitely attract people to rural Liberia and reduced the over-crowdedness of our capital and major commercial city, Monrovia. The old saying goes: "show me a place to stand and I will move the world." Give the Liberian people good roads and watch them develop themselves environmentally, economically and socially. Thanks for the space Mr. Editor.

Citizens of Lofa County should not celebrate so soon because the road project have not started. I am saying this because we are very good at planning but implementation is lacking. Furthermore, road projects giving to construction companies in Liberia aren't good. Therefore, the government need to put up a bid not only among firms operating in Liberia. If the government want a better road network, they must also visit Europe and United States for firms to compete road projects.
