Accra, Ghana - President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has met separately with the Leadership of the Liberian Refugees living at Buduburam Camp on the outskirts of Accra as well as Liberian Students attending the Ghana Institute of Management & Public Administration (GIMPA) in Accra, Ghana.

In separate meetings, the leadership of the Liberian refugees living in the Camp congratulated the President on his election and thanked him for the support they have received from his government.

They particularly expressed gratitude to the President for his effort in repatriating them to Liberia and ensuring their successful and seamless return home. 
They also voiced the challenges they are currently faced with, including the lack of basic services such as water, sanitary, and latrine facilities and the appalling living conditions in the Camp. They said access to food is also challenging for the nearly two thousand Liberians in the Camp.

Speaking on behalf of the group, President Dennis Williams asked the Liberian Leader to work to ensure they are all returned home as soon as possible to contribute to Liberia's rebuilding efforts.

In presenting a plaque of appreciation, they prayed for the success of the President and the leadership of the country.

In response, the President thanked the leadership for coming and regretted that he was unable to visit the Camp due to his tight schedule. He promised to do all he could to ensure their smooth return home but expressed the dire challenges his administration encountered. He presented a token of ten thousand United States Dollars to contribute to food.

In a further development, the President also met with Liberian Students of the Ghana Institute for Management & Public Administration (GIMPA), who similarly expressed the challenges they are facing on the campus. Issues such as tuition, stipend, and accommodation were highlighted during the engagement.

The President promised to follow up and ensure swift action for the students.
