RIVERCESS COUNTY, LIBERIA-President George Weah has assured the people of Rivercess County that the road from Buchanan to the County’s capital, Cestos City, will be paved.

President Weah then disclosed plans by the Liberian Government to properly layout Cestos City.

The Liberian leader gave the assurance on April 25, 2021, during a town hall meeting with the people of Rivercess in Cestos City.
