PAYNESVILLE CITY, LIBERIA-The Director General of the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS), Eugene Fahngon, has appealed for $35,000 US dollars to establish radio services in Gbarpolu County.

Director General Fahngon noted that the county has limited radio coverage, with its existing station operating for only a few hours due to damaged batteries and reliance on solar power.

He said:” The amount would help equip an existing building with a transmitter, tower, and generator to extend radio services to residents within two weeks”.

According to the Director General, the transmission projects in Grand Cape Mount and Saclepea in Nimba County have been completed, with only equipment installation remaining.

The LBS boss appealed on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, while addressing the Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Augustine Ngafuan, on the compound of the Liberia Broadcasting System in Paynesville City.

Responding, Minister Ngafuan pledged increased government funding for the LBS in the 2027 National Budget.

Minister Ngafuan commended LBS for its coverage of local and international events.

The finance minister then urged the LBS Management to ensure the proper use of public resources to improve the System’s services.

Finance Minister Augustine Ngafuan also promised to review the Liberia Broadcasting System’s communication to the finance ministry and provide possible assistance under the current budget.
