The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Oil Company of Liberia (NOCAL), Atty. Saifuah Mai Gray, has urged graduates of the Monrovia Consolidated School System (MCSS) not to allow themselves to be used for protest as the country moves toward general and presidential elections in October 2023.
Speaking during the graduation ceremony of four MCSS schools, where Atty. Gray served as keynote speaker, she told the graduates that taking part in riots will only be in the selfish interest of politicians.
The NOCAL boss added that it took one day to destroy the mount coffee Hydropower, which was the main electricity supply to the country, but required over twenty years to rebuild it.
She added that it takes a short while to destroy a country but over a quarter of a decade to return it to status quo.
The NOCAL boss promised to offer the four Duxes of the various schools a NOCAL-funded scholarship at university level, but with a condition that they maintain a GPA of 3.2.
Also speaking at the ceremony, the Superintendent of MCSS, Prof. Isaac Saye Lakpoh Zawolo, lauded the effort of the students, parents and the various schools’ administrations for making the day successful.
He stated that, very shortly the MCSS will be constructing a new building for the Early Childhood Development Program and the Monrovia Demonstration School on Clay Street.
He thanked the government for giving full financial support to the MCSS.
The four MCSS schools that held the joint graduation on Thursday, September 29, 2022 are: Pipeline Community School, G.W. Gibson High School, D. Twe High School and William V.S Tubman High School.
