Liberia: Over Bella Yella road construction, Woods scores high point
Dec 14, 2009
by Michael Kpayili / Staff Writer
Public Works Minister Samuel Kofi Woods, II has expressed satisfaction over the level of work done at the Bopolu- Bella Yella road but called on engineers to remain focus to the completion of the road.
Speaking during a one day team visit at the virgin Belle Yella road on Saturday December 12, 2009, Minister Woods said with the level of cooperation and motivation among engineers and workers on the road, the certainty for an official opening of the road is imminent for December 18, 2009.
At the first stop of the visit, the Chief Engineer of PEALAT Liberia Construction Company, Mr. Aaron Joboe expressed confidence that the road will be completed before December 24, 2009 for the Christmas celebration. He said the remaining 10 mile road will be aggressively worked on to reach the Town of Belle Yella.
At the second and final stop, the general Administrative Manager of PEALAT Liberia Mr. Aaron
Harris said the reason why the road has reached at an appreciable point is the motto developed at the inception of the work. The motto put in place according to him is “No nonsense, No tolerance.” which workers used as guide to commence work.
In response to statement made by field workers, Public Works Minister Samuel Kofi Woods, II said the initial commitment made to the people of Liberia concerning Belle Yella road is still on course. He said he trusted in the ability of the workers on the field but will continue to encourage them as the road reaches completion.
What is particularly important about the road is not only the historic nature of the area but it is the first time for road to enter Belle Yella.
“Historically as student, I was afraid of Belle Yella, but when the president visited the area, she felt that there was a need for road in Belle Yella and this statement motivated me as Minister”. Minister Woods maintained. The theme for the initial opening of Belle Yella road was: “Respect Human Rights and Dignity.”
The acceleration of the road is predicated upon commitment made by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to Chief Jallah Lone that she was going to spend the Christmas in Belle Yella.
Those that accompanied Minister Woods on the tour were Deputy Minister for Technical Services Mr. J. Jenkins Mens-Cole, Mr. B. Wion Kanteah Sr. Director for Procurement Ministry of Public Works, Abraham Samukai, Comptroller Ministry of Public Works and scores of Journalists.
