President George Manneh Weah has declared that all undergraduates public entering universities across the country will enjoy free tuition.

Reports indicate that he made the declaration before students of the University of Liberia at the Capitol Hill campus located in the capital Liberia. The announcement was met with loud cheers and applause from students who were ecstatic about the news.
President Weah became Liberia’s president after winning the general elections last year against the Unity Party’s Joseph Boakai. He was subsequently sworn in on 22 January 2018, making him the 4th youngest serving president in Africa.
