Maryland County Superintendent Henry Cole has lauded President Joseph Boakai and Vice President Jeremiah Koung for what he described as “remarkable improvements” in road infrastructure across southeastern Liberia.
Superintendent Cole, speaking recently to reporters in Gbarnga, noted that for decades, residents of Maryland and other southeastern counties struggled with deplorable road conditions that often left them cut off from the rest of the country.
“In just two years, the Boakai administration has addressed longstanding grievances of the citizens in this area,” he said, adding that travel time, which previously took one to two days, has now been reduced to as little as five to six hours.
According to him, commercial drivers who once avoided the county due to the treacherous roads are now able to travel with ease. “Even during the rainy season, taxis and trucks can now enter without major issues,” he emphasized.
Cole revealed that road projects in the southeast are currently about 75-80% complete—a level of progress he described as “a blessing for the region.”
Under his stewardship, the superintendent added, Maryland County has seen notable development, particularly in completing projects abandoned by past administrations. He expressed optimism that in the next four years, the county could serve as a model for sustainable development.
Highlighting collaboration as a key factor, Superintendent Cole credited the Maryland Legislative Caucus for working closely with his administration to push development forward.
He concluded by urging citizens of Maryland County to remain united in support of initiatives aimed at improving their lives and strengthening the county’s future.
