MONROVIA — President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. arrived at Roberts International Airport Thursday following his recognition at a distinguished peace award ceremony in Sacramento, California, calling the international honor a “proud moment” for Liberia on the global stage.
Speaking to journalists upon his return, President Boakai said the award belongs not to him alone but to the Liberian people, crediting their “collective efforts, cooperation, and commitment” to advancing the country in a positive direction.
“This award belongs to the Liberian people for their continuous support and contributions to national development,” Boakai told reporters at RIA.
The President used the occasion to reaffirm his administration’s commitment to good governance, pledging that his government will “continue to lead the country on the right path.”
He emphasized that empowering young Liberians remains a top priority, with plans to expand access to education and create more job opportunities across the 15 counties.
Boakai’s recognition at the California event adds to Liberia’s growing international reputation as a nation committed to peace, stability, and democratic progress.
