President Weah Extends Electricity to Peace Island as He Commissions âLight Up Monroviaâ Project Friday, 5th March 2021 Photo Credit: Executive Mansion (Monrovia, Liberia):Drives by the President of the Republic, H.E. Dr. George Manneh Weah, to spread electricity to every nook and corner of the country have found yet another concrete expression in his commissioning of the “Light Up Monrovia” Project and by switching on the Peace Island Community Light in Congo Town.
Peace Island Community is one of Monrovia’s large slums and long-marginalized communities existing without electric power for decades, reason why throngs of its residents burst into thunderous celebrations as the President, along with the European Union Head of Delegation, Ambassador Laurent Delahousse, switched on hundreds of homes in the community on March 5, 2021.
