Monrovia, Liberia- Grand Cape Mount County Senator Dabah M. Varpilah has commended the administration of President Joseph Boakai for what she described as meaningful development progress across Liberia within the government’s first two years in office.
Speaking during an interview on the Punch FM Breakfast Show in Monrovia, Senator Varpilah said the current administration has demonstrated a strong commitment to national development through ongoing road construction, expansion of electricity, and investments in key sectors.
“In just two years, the government has shown that it is serious about moving the country forward,” she said.
“When you look at the road projects, the expansion of electricity, and other infrastructure initiatives taking place, it is clear that Liberia is making steady progress under President Joseph Boakai.”
The Grand Cape Mount lawmaker emphasized that road development is essential for improving the country’s economy and the livelihoods of ordinary Liberians.
According to her, better road connectivity will ease transportation challenges and strengthen trade between communities.
“Roads do more than move vehicles,” Senator Varpliah noted. “They open economic opportunities.
When roads are improved, farmers can easily take their produce to the markets, businesses can expand, and communities that were once difficult to reach become connected to the rest of the country.”
She also pointed to the government’s effort to extend electricity to communities that have long struggled with limited access to power.
Senator Varpilah said reliable electricity remains a key driver of development because it supports education, businesses, and job creation.
“Electricity is a critical pillar of development,” she said. “When communities have stable power, it improves the learning environment for students, strengthens small businesses, and creates new opportunities for young people.”
Senator Varpilah further highlighted the administration’s investment in the education sector, describing it as an important step toward preparing Liberia’s future generation.
“Education remains the foundation of national development,” she said.
“Strengthening the education system ensures that our young people are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to build a better Liberia.”
She also acknowledged the government’s ongoing efforts to combat illegal drugs, warning that drug abuse poses a serious threat to the country’s youth.
“The fight against drugs must remain a national priority because drugs are destroying the lives and futures of many young people,” she added.
Senator Varpilah concluded by urging Liberians to support national development efforts and work together in the interest of the country.
“Development is not the responsibility of government alone,” she said. “It requires the cooperation and commitment of all Liberians.
If we continue to work together, our country will achieve greater progress in the years ahead.”
