The Libya Government has provided some assistance to the Liberian Government in its power supply for the nation.
One the assistance include two 1.25 KVA generators to the Republic of Liberia, the Executive Mansion disclosed yesterday.
Disclosing this the Presidential Press Secretary, Cyrus Badio said one of the generators has already arrived in the country while the other will arrive anytime this week.
Addressing his regular Monday press briefing at the Foreign Ministry yesterday, Mr. Badio indicated that the generator donation would boost the second phase of the emergency power (electrification) program in the country.
The second phase of the emergency power program will cover major portions of Monrovia along with the suburbs of Bushrod Island and Paynesville.
The government and its international partners including the governments of Norway, Ghana, the United States of America, the World Bank and European Commission last December signed the second phase of the emergency power program.
The project phase is reported to cost US$25 million with the Liberian Government providing US$1.4 million while the rest would be provided by Liberia’s partners.
Mr. Badio told journalists that the donation by the Libyan Government to Liberia is one of the fruits of President Sirleaf’s many foreign travels.
The Libyan government made the donation during a visit to that country last year by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf at the invitation of Col. Mummar Ghaddafi, Badio said.
He said along with the generators, the North African country also donated two tractors which are already in the country to assist government in the agricultural sector.
Mr. Badio said “President Sirleaf is very appreciative of the gesture by Col. Ghaddafi and his government, representing yet another manifestation of the confidence that friendly governments and the international community continue to repose in her new government.”
