Beyan Town, Lofa County, July 22, 2025: President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has dedicated a newly constructed Resting Center along with key infrastructure projects, including two police stations and a public marketplace, in Beyan Town, Lofa County.
The dedication ceremony, held on Monday, July 21, 2025, marked a significant milestone for the county. The facilities also include a monument inscribed with the words: “Welcome to Lofa County, the Breadbasket of Liberia,” and Several TVS Star motorbikes were also presented for distribution among county officials to aid in mobility and service delivery.
The projects were initiated and financed by the office of Deputy Speaker Thomas Fallah as part of ongoing efforts to enhance public infrastructure and support economic activity in rural counties.
President Boakai, speaking at the dedication ceremony, expressed gratitude to Deputy Speaker Fallah for spearheading the initiative.
He acknowledged the challenges facing the county, particularly the poor road conditions that continue to hamper development.
“The reason the county is still lagging behind is the lack of good roads. The reason why road works stopped is because of the rainy season,” President Boakai stated, indecating that “But soon, the road will reach Lofa, and it will bring jobs and opportunities for our people.”
The Liberian leader called for unity among citizens, emphasizing that national development is only possible when communities work together. “Let us remain united as the government strives to uplift the lives of our people,” he urged.
In remarks, Deputy Speaker Fallah said the project was born out of a desire to ease the burden on travelers and local traders who frequently use the route for business.
“This project is not for me or my family, it is for the people of Lofa County, especially the market women and businesspeople who pass through here daily,” Fallah noted. “Now they can rest, trade, and move with ease.”
The ceremony was attended by Speaker Richard Koon, Lofa County officials, Bong County Senator Prince Moye, county superintendents, local residents, and students who turned out in large numbers to witness the event.
The dedication is expected to boost trade, improve security, and provide relief for commuters and businesses operating in the part of the region.
