Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Monrovia \u2014<\/b> A tragic incident unfolded at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday, January 21, resulting in one person losing their life and another sustaining severe injuries due to a power outage affecting the recently renovated lift.<\/p>\n

A reliable source within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed the details of the incident, attributing the unfortunate events to an electricity failure in the Liberian Foreign Ministry building in Monrovia.<\/p>\n

The victims have been identified as a male Ghanaian elevator technician named Abdulai Zakaria, who tragically lost his life, and a Liberian, Moses Flomo, who suffered a broken leg.<\/p>\n

The lift in question was part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\u2019 recent refurbishment projects, overseen by Foreign Affairs Minister D. Maxwell Saah Kemayah. The initiative aligns with the government\u2019s flagship program, the Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD), focusing on the expansion and modernization of government-owned buildings.<\/p>\n

Funding for the renovation and maintenance came from the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, covering repairs from the 5th floor to the basement. Additionally, the Kingdom of Morocco contributed funds for the renovation of the entire 6th floor, the C. Cecil Dennis Auditorium, the Foyer, Fac\u0327ade, and the construction of a generator house, which will house a 500KV generator donated by the government and people of the Kingdom of Morocco.<\/p>\n

The completion of the project was marked by an official dedication ceremony on Wednesday, January 17, presided over by President Weah.<\/p>\n

During the dedication, Minister Kemayah assured journalists that the refurbished lift was equipped to maintain electricity for up to 45 minutes during power outages, highlighting the safety measures implemented in the newly renovated building.<\/p>\n
