Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>President Joseph Nyuma Boakai on Thursday, February 19, 2026 officially launched and dedicated the newly constructed headquarters of the Liberia Standards Authority, describing the facility as a major step toward strengthening Liberia\u2019s economic transformation.<\/p>\n

The commissioning ceremony was held at the compound of the Ministry of Public Works on UN Drive in Monrovia.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, President Boakai emphasized that the occasion was more than the opening of a building. Instead, he said, it marked the reinforcement of a critical national institution responsible for safeguarding standards across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cStandards are the foundation of a strong economy,\u201d the President stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey protect our people, support our businesses, and build confidence in our marketplace. A nation that upholds standards builds trust\u2014both at home and abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President underscored the expanded role the Liberia Standards Authority is expected to play in national development.<\/p>\n

He said enhanced regulation and enforcement would ensure product safety, protect consumers and prevent the influx of dangerous, low-quality, counterfeit and unhealthy imports that have historically affected the local market.<\/p>\n

He added that the Authority would also focus on standardizing Liberian products throughout the value chain, making them more competitive in regional and international markets.<\/p>\n

This effort, he noted, aligns with Liberia\u2019s commitments under the World Trade Organization.<\/p>\n

According to President Boakai, the new state-of-the-art facility demonstrates the government\u2019s readiness to strengthen the national quality infrastructure and empower the Authority to deliver measurable results.<\/p>\n

The Liberian leader expressed appreciation to the European Union and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), along with other partners, for their collaboration and support in advancing Liberia\u2019s development agenda.<\/p>\n

He said such partnerships are vital to ensuring sustainable growth and institutional capacity-building.<\/p>\n

Addressing farmers, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and innovators, President Boakai described the Liberia Standards Authority as a key partner in their growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs standards rise, opportunities expand\u2014and when opportunities expand, Liberia prospers,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n

The President concluded by framing the commissioning as part of a broader nation-building process, stressing the importance of building durable institutions and systems that benefit all Liberians.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s ceremony is one more strong step in that direction,\u201d he said. \u201cIt shows that Liberia is moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
