Ghana Ready to Share Development Experiences with Liberia – VP Bawumia
Ghana is ready to share her development experiences with Liberia and
will be willing to lend a hand to her West African neighbour as she
seeks to move on from the devastating war of a few years ago.
The ties between Ghana and Liberia will also be strengthened as the
two nations explore ways to share knowledge and help meet the
aspirations of their citizens.
The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. Dr Mahamudu
Bawumia, made these commitments when the Vice President of Liberia, H.E.
Jewel Cianeh Howard Taylor, paid a courtesy call on him at the Jubilee
House, Accra on Tuesday 17th April, 2018.
Citing the challenges the Nana Akufo-Addo government faced when it
assumed office about 15 months ago and the strides made since then, Vice
President Bawumia assured H.E. Jewel Taylor that her country’s fortunes
could be turned around with dedication and hard work.
“Issues such as stabilising the macro economy, restoring business
confidence and making the education curriculum relevant to the needs of
the people of Liberia are key”, Vice President Bawumia stated, adding
“ensuring value addition to agricultural products and a policy of
infrastructure development and industrialisation would also go a long
way to provide jobs for the youth.”
On her part, H.E. Jewel Taylor indicated she and her team are in
Ghana to learn from her experiences and share ideas on how to develop
Liberia and the subregion as a whole.
They would also explore the possibility of engaging the services of
retired Ghanaian doctors and teachers to help strengthen the capacity of
Liberian institutions, according to the Liberian Vice President.
H.E. Jewel Taylor expressed the gratitude of Liberians for Ghana’s
assistance during the war period and even after, when a large number of
refugees were hosted at Buduburam in the Central Region, declaring,
“Ghana has become like home to us.”
