Liberia’s President Boakai Reminds Officials to Focus on Governance or Resign

President Joseph Boakai of Liberia has instructed his Cabinet to prioritize national development and accountability. Amidst public scrutiny and potential U.S. aid cuts, he warned officials with presidential ambitions to focus on governance or step aside. Key priorities include investigations into unresolved deaths, economic strengthening, and infrastructure improvements.

In Monrovia, President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has expressed urgency regarding the delivery of his administration’s objectives, especially with over a year since he took office. During his initial Cabinet meeting of 2025, he emphasized a commitment to national development, accountability, and reform, stating that the government must act decisively to meet the people’s expectations.

President Boakai’s call for accountability and reform reflects the mounting pressures his administration faces as several officials eye the 2029 presidential election.
