“I want to first thank my boss, the Managing Director, Hon. Amos B. Tweh, for his vision and tireless commitment to national service. On his behalf, I encourage you, our young brothers and sisters, to take this rehabilitation process seriously so that you can become productive citizens. You are not defined by the negative label you are currently called. Instead, you are gifted with potential and can become valuable contributors to the future of Liberia,” Hon. Smith said.

Tweh for the farsighted leadership he continues to provide and praised the LPRC management under his astute guidance for the commitment and patriotism he demonstrates in national leadership.
