"Diaspora Liberians Face Heat Due to Poor Planning of Annual Return Farewell at Executive Mansion"

Monrovia Liberia: While President Boakai was seated with over 200 Diaspora Liberians in the Executive Mansion parlor, an issue arose as the air conditioning system, responsible for maintaining comfort in the hall, malfunctioned. 

This led to a wave of extreme heat circulating throughout the space.

Several Diaspora Liberians began using fans and paper to cool themselves, while President Boakai and the First Lady remained seated.

After a few minutes, the event organizers brought in three fans two large ones and one small trying to alleviate the discomfort.

Eventually, some attendees decided to leave the hall and stand outside, where they sought relief from the cool breeze.

President Joseph Nyuma Boakai expressed his deep appreciation for the commitment of the Liberian diaspora to the country’s growth and prosperity.

President Boakai was speaking at a gathering of Liberians who returned home as part of the Government's Annual Year of Return program.

The event, held at the at the executive mansion, and brought together many in the diaspora to engage in meaningful discussions about the future of Liberia.
