MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The National Port Authority (NPA) has initiated discussions with stakeholders on the reduction of tariffs and other charges, at the Free Port of Monrovia.

The move followed talks with President George Weah at the NPA Tuesday, October 27, 2021, where he held talks with Managing Director, Bill Twehway, on the issue.
