During the program, Bong County Superintendent, Daniel Weetal, officially welcomed Mrs. Sirleaf by presenting to her kola nuts as a sign of traditional welcome to the city of Gbarnga.
Speaking at the program, Unity Party Chair Lady, Esthela Liberty, who is also President of Bong County Women Association, lauded the UP Standard-bearer for the level of support she has been rendering the people of Bong County. She said Ms. Sirleaf has been the major contributor to the renovated school project.
