Monrovia, April 24 (LINA) – The Association of Liberian Journalists in the Americas (ALJA) has extolled President George MannehWeah for his recent donation of a modern edifice to the Female Journalists Association of Liberia (FeJAL) as its headquarters.
ALJA says the gesture is unprecedented in the history of Liberia’s journalism and thanked the President for the magnanimity.
In a press release issued on April 24, ALJA also, commended President Weah for the 10-seater bus donated to FeJAL for operational purposes; and all those, including Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor, who attended and contributed generously to the Association’s headquarters fundraiser held on April 20 at the Monrovia City Hall.
ALJA said it is profoundly elated about the donations and the giant step taken by the Liberian leader and his officials in strengthening FeJAL’s capacity in serving its members and the entire Liberian media.
ALJA urged the FeJAL leadership to utilize the building, and the monetary and other material donations for the intended purposes.
The Association said it is mindful of critics who have questioned the President’s motivation, and called on FeJAL and all Liberian journalists to prove these critics wrong by demonstrating objectivity and impartiality in their coverage of events in Liberia in spite of the President’s donations.
