At the same time, the Director General of the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS), Eugene Fahngon, has underscored President Boakai’s significant contributions to Liberia’s development.
Mr Fahngon said,” The President has improved infrastructure, including electricity, water supply, road networks and expanded media access across the country”.

Meanwhile, the Liberian Chief Executive has declared Monday, December 1, 2025, as World AIDS Day to be observed as a working holiday throughout the country.
President Boakai said,” Since the virus was first identified in 1981, it continues to pose a serious threat to global health, with Liberia being no exception”.
He said,” Liberia has made significant progress in its national response to HIV through policies, community programs, and partnerships, with civil society organisations, health specialists, and international donors playing a key role.
