\u201cWe have what it takes to strengthen that long standing relationship we have with the US. We can change a lot. That is the first thing I have in mind and it\u2019s the first thing I am going to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Duwana holds a Master of Science Degree in Organizational Leadership from the NYACK College in New York. He earlier earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science from the University of Liberia.<\/p>\n
