Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The President of the Republic, H.E. Dr. George Manneh Weah, has reiterated his Government\u2019s commitment to improving the country\u2019s tattered infrastructures, stating that repairing and building more roads, market buildings, decent housing units, amongst others, remains his burning desire.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you to know that I have a burning desire to help to repair and develop this country’s derelict infrastructure, and my thirst to do so shall not be quenched until we make a significant difference to Liberia\u2019s infrastructural deficit,\u201d President Weah told throngs of cheering citizens who turned out to witness the dedication of a state-of-the-art market building in Duala, Bushrod Island on Thursday, February 10, 2022.<\/p>\n

The newly constructed Duala Market adds to scores of modern market buildings President Weah has erected across the country since his incumbency.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive added: \u201cThese structures are specifically targeted at improving the lives of our struggling marketers who labor daily through harsh economic and sanitary conditions just to earn a living, while also helping to reduce poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the newly completed Duala Market is a symbol of the resilience of Liberian mothers who have over the years toiled under very harsh conditions to support their children and their families, while also contributing towards the economic growth of the nation.<\/p>\n

The multi-million-dollar market complex is a joint project of the Governments of Liberia and Japan.<\/p>\n

President Weah thanked the Government and people of Japan for responding to his administration\u2019s call for collaboration in building the modern market as a way of bettering facilities and accommodations in which Liberian mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers do business on the daily basis.<\/p>\n

Pres. Weah also commended the Liberia Agency for Community Empowerment (LACE), headed by Quiwu Pepci Yeke, for working expeditiously and professionally in order to see Duala Market and all other projects under his mandate timely completed.<\/p>\n

He admonished the prospective users, \u201cparticularly our mothers and sisters to keep the Market clean and hygienic\u201d.<\/p>\n

The President warned the marketers: \u201cIt is you that will be its principal inhabitants. You must not turn it into a breeding ground for filth – as the old Duala Market has been for many years. Let us resolve today to change that story, by changing our behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liberian Leader also urged the marketers to go into the market hall and get off the main streets when selling, as the market was also designed and built to resolve the menacing problem of traffic congestion in the Duala rea.<\/p>\n
