In a significant boost to Liberia’s infrastructure and security capabilities, Ghanaian businessman Ibrahim Mahama, the CEO of Engineers & Planners Limited, has donated 20 police vehicles and three 1,200 KVA electricity generators to the Liberia Airport Authority.

The presentation took place this morning in Monrovia, attended by Liberian President His Excellency Joseph Boakai and Vice President His Excellency Jeremiah Koung.

This generous contribution is expected to enhance the operational efficiency and security at the Roberts International Airport in Monrovia, Liberia’s primary international gateway.

The 20 police vehicles will bolster the airport’s security force, while the high-capacity generators will ensure a reliable power supply, critical for airport operations.

During the ceremony, President Boakai expressed his profound gratitude to Mr Mahama, a brother of the former President of the Republic of  Ghana and flagbearer for the 2024 general elections, Mr John Dramani Mahama for his philanthropy, emphasizing the importance of such contributions to the nation’s development. “This donation will significantly improve our airport’s capabilities, ensuring the safety and comfort of travellers and boosting our overall infrastructure,” President Boakai stated.

Vice President Koung, on his part, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the longstanding relationship between Ghana and Liberia.

“This act of generosity from Mr Ibrahim Mahama is a testament to the strong bond between our two nations. We are deeply appreciative of his support and commitment to Liberia’s progress,” Koung said.

Mr Ibrahim Mahama, known for his philanthropic endeavours across Africa, reiterated his commitment to supporting infrastructure and development projects that have a tangible impact on local communities.

“I am honoured to contribute to Liberia’s growth and development.

Strong infrastructure is the backbone of any thriving economy, and I believe these vehicles and generators will play a crucial role in enhancing the airport’s operations,” Mahama remarked.
