According to Mr. Henries if the Liberalization policy must be achieved, young people must be empowered with the necessary skills training to boast the potential of Liberian businesses.

“If we continue to import soap and other things, we are making other countries rich while we continue to stay behind” the Montserrado District 9, Representative Aspirant added.
