She also assured that the materials will be properly used.<\/p>\n<p>The First Lady was also thanked for her support of the county by the youth and women leaders, chiefs and elders, and prominent residents.<\/p>\n<p>In separate remarks, they described Liberia\u2019s First Lady as a woman of her word who has always fulfilled the promises that she makes.<\/p>\n<p>The Busie Town Hall hosted the brief ceremony to mark the presentation of the consignment. It was attended by youth, women chiefs and elders as well as prominent residents and the Office of Nimba County Superintendent.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newrepublicliberia.com\/first-lady-weah-empowers-adolescent-girls-in-nimba\/\">New republic liberia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan O.
