    Kakata, Margibi – Minister Mamaka Bility, Liberia’s Minister of State Without Portfolio has reiterated President Boakai’s pledge to turn the Booker T. Washington Institute (BWI) into a preeminent University of Science and Technology during the celebration of the institution’s 95th Foundation Day celebration.

    This declaration comes after President Boakai’s recent remarks in Kakata, where he acknowledged the critical role BWI play in Liberia’s future.

    The event, which had as its theme “BWI People Taking Matters into Their Own Hands for Positive Change,” celebrated the growth of BWI from its start in 1929 as a vocational school to its current status as a cutting-edge hub for science and technology.

    Minister Bility gave the keynote address at the celebration on Saturday, June 29, 2024 in Margibi County, she discussed numerous important facets of the transition. In order to prepare students for opportunities in developing industries, she said, the curriculum will be expanded to include new science and technology courses. This is important, since it will provide the next generation the skills they need to succeed in a labor market that is changing quickly, the stateswoman noted.

    Minister Bility emphasized the significance of establishing corporate connections. “Through internships and practical training, these partnerships will guarantee that students acquire employable skills, and BWI hopes to eliminate the knowledge gap between industry demands and education by collaborating closely with the corporate sector.”

     

    The Minister also cited infrastructure improvements as a crucial part of the change that may improve facilities, facilitate chances for advanced study and research, and foster an atmosphere that encourages creativity and success among instructors and students.

    According to Minister Bility, this will contain cutting-edge labs, contemporary classrooms, and modernized technological tools.

    New Mineral Development Agreements (MDAs) that prioritize the development of human capacity are also necessary, as Minister Bility underlined.

    “These contracts with mining firms will guarantee that local communities gain from the extraction of natural resources. It is imperative that the extraction of resources yields observable advantages for our populace.”

    According to the Liberian Minister Without Portfolio, these accords would enable investments in infrastructure, food security, and education that will contribute to the country’s sustained development.
    She also mentioned BWI’s historical significance, noting that it was the first agricultural and vocational school in West Africa when it was founded.

    The university has produced talented graduates who have made significant contributions to every significant industry in Liberia,  influencing the industrial landscape of the nation.

    Building on this history, BWI’s conversion to a University of Science and Technology seeks to place the institution at the forefront of regional economic and educational development.

    Minister Bility encouraged the BWI community to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in line with President Boakai’s agenda during her closing remarks. “Technological innovation and a competent labor force are critical to Liberia’s economic future. She said, “President Boakai is dedicated to this change.

    Next, she anticipates a new chapter for BWI as it advances toward being a center of innovation and education in West Africa, one that will be characterized by inspired hope and excitement.
