Paynesville, Liberia,18th February 2026: The Paynesville Digital Hub has reiterated its commitment to expanding digital literacy across Liberia.
Speaking to the New Dawn on Tuesday, Milton Nagbo Ricks, Chief Executive Officer of Paynesville Digital Hub, stressed the need for advancing digital education nationwide.
He said his institution is focused on strengthening computer literacy through structured, practical training programs that expand digital literacy, promote innovation, and provide equal learning opportunities for all Liberians.
