As Liberians set to commemorate Liberia’s 176th Flag Day across the country, the Ministry of Education has designated Wantoe Teah Wantoe as the National Orator for this year’s observation.
The commemoration of the 176th Flag Day is expected to be held at the Centennial Memorial Pavilion under the theme, ” The Lonestar, A Symbol of Unity and Nationalism”.
Meanwhile, the National Orator of the 176th Flag Day celebration is a candidate for a Master’s in Public Policy at the University of Oxford, Pembroke College, Blavatnik School of Government.
In furtherance of his background, the orator has been a champion for the rights of women and children and has emerged as one of Liberia and Africa’s leading advocates for global sustainability and youth development.
With a deep passion for social causes, this year’s national orator possesses exceptional listening and communication skills, enabling him to influence and mobilize young people, communities and decision-makers.
Currently, he serves as a Steering Member on the United Nations Department of Global Communication Youth Steering Committee and the AFS Youth Assembly Advisory Council.
The orator, however, is equipped with extensive experience in non-profit management, youth development and government relations, complemented with solid educational background in public policy and sociology.
The decision to select Wantoe as the National Orator for the 176th Flag Day, according to the Ministry, is triggered by his distinct portfolio, remarkable accomplishments and impact on youth-focused programs.
The government, through the Ministry of Education, encourages Liberians to show and demonstrate a symbol of National Unity during the elections as all citizens celebrate the 176th Flag Day.
