MONROVIA – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has announced several new appointments in his administration, along with the dissolution of boards of directors for key public institutions, as part of his government’s ongoing efforts to promote efficiency, accountability, and results-driven leadership.
According to an Executive Mansion release issued in Monrovia, the new appointments, subject to Senate confirmation where applicable, span across multiple government agencies and ministries. At the Ministry of State for Presidential Affairs, Mack C. Mulbah has been named Head of the Presidential Delivery Unit, while Varfin V. Donzo will serve as Assistant Minister of State without Portfolio.
At the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Oliver S. Gbegbe has been appointed Assistant Minister for Energy, a role expected to be critical in supporting the administration’s renewable energy and infrastructure development agenda.
In addition, Hanson Kiazolu has been appointed as Director General of the National Bureau of Concessions, and J.S.B. Theodore Momo, Jr. will now serve as Director General of the Bureau of State Enterprises.
In a related development, President Boakai has ordered the dissolution of the Boards of Directors of several key state institutions, pending their restructuring. The affected entities include the William V.S. Tubman University, the Central Agricultural Research Institute (CARI), and the Booker Washington Institute (BWI).
However, the President directed that all statutory members of the dissolved boards shall retain their positions in accordance with existing laws and regulations governing their appointments. Until the boards are formally reconstituted, the sector leader responsible for each institution will serve as Acting Chairperson.
President Boakai expressed appreciation to all outgoing board members for what he described as their dedicated service and contributions to national development. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to reforming governance structures and ensuring that public institutions operate effectively in the interest of the Liberian people.
The announcement is the latest in a series of leadership changes made under the Boakai administration, which has emphasized performance monitoring, accountability, and institutional reform as key pillars of its governance strategy
