The meeting brought together Liberian scholars studying across Moroccan universities and institutes, as well as professionals and community leaders living in the country.

President Boakai commended the students for their dedication and encouraged them to remain committed to their studies and personal growth. He underscored the importance of education in cultivating a generation of skilled and innovative young leaders capable of advancing Liberia's progress.
During the interaction, the students expressed gratitude to the Boakai Administration for reactivating their allowances, noting that this support had been delayed in previous years.
