Barely a few moments after his arrival at Dares Salam, Tanzania, for the Africa Energy Summit to electrify 300 million Africans by 2030, President Boakai has benefited from the package due to his commitment to achieving UN sustainable development goals SDG 7 and fostering sustainable, inclusive growth that improves the lives of Liberians.
Liberia’s inclusion in the Mission 300 package is a vivid recognition of the country’s significant progress in energy transformation under Boakai’s leadership.
These include comprehensive energy sector reforms, a mass rural solarisation drive and the country’s Green Growth Plan.
President Boakai, who zoomed off from Monrovia last evening after the State of the Nation (SONA) broadcast, was visibly elated about this outstanding success at the Africa Energy summit in Tanzania.
Despite being late at the summit, due to the SONA engagements, Boakai now bubbles in joy at the outcome of the Africa Energy summit in Tanzania.
