The Global Initiative for the Advancement of Africa (GIAA) has embarked on a four-day business delegation to Liberia, engaging key government officials and private sector leaders to explore investment opportunities.

The delegation, comprising business leaders from Nigeria, met with senior Liberian officials, including Minister of Human Resources and Employee Relations Hon. Oretha Juah Bestman-Yates, Culture Ambassador Queen Julie Endee, and GIAA Liberia Coordinator Queen Lovette Sade Awode. Discussions focused on trade facilitation, innovation, and economic development.

High-ranking government figures, such as the Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Sylvester M. Grigsby, Senior Special Adviser on Political Affairs, Hon. Macdella Cooper, and National Security Advisor Atty. Samuel Kofi Woods also participated in the talks. Ministers from various sectors, including commerce, agriculture, gender, and tourism, expressed their commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment.

The delegation highlighted Liberia’s dual currency system, which allows transactions in U.S. dollars and local currency, reducing investment risks. GIAA praised President Joseph Boakai’s administration for appointing young, dynamic leaders to drive economic progress.

GIAA Co-Founders Dr. David James Egwu and Dr. Utchay Odims, alongside Board Chairman Hon. Dr. High Chief Ginika Tor, expressed gratitude to the Liberian government for its support. They reaffirmed GIAA’s mission to promote African economic growth through collaboration and investment.

GIAA remains open for consultations to facilitate business ventures in Liberia, aiming to strengthen African partnerships and drive sustainable development.
