Rev. Lablah said through the MOUs, the institutions will work with the NCHE and other Liberian institutions to establish quality assurance within the various universities.

He told ELBC Monday, that such an academic audit will compel higher learning institutions in the country to be responsible and push for growth that will better position them for world university rankings.
