In the months that have passed since we met in Philadelphia in 2007 to elect our Able and Dynamic President Seama Sheriff, I have not changed my mind about what I said when I delivered a speech on education for Quardu-Gboni.

I then said that there was a need for QGMA, our association, to establish an internet café in Monrovia, Liberia. I also envisioned that one day, our District, Quardu-Gboni, will have its own technical institution to be called the Quradu-Gboni Institute of Technology.

Since then, Quardu-Gboni has gained a district status. This has added impetus to our vision. We can now expand this vision to include the establishment of two vocational institutions: one in Quardu, one in Gboni and then the establishment of the Quardu-Gboni Institute of Technology in the central capital of Gbaygbaydu.

I am aware that the establishment of these vocational and technical institutions will require the input and support of the Liberian Government but we who hail from this district must be in the forefront to identify and make known our visions and aspirations. The beneficiaries of these institutions will be our brothers and sisters from Borlonkolliedu to Saokonnehdu, Marvinkonnehdu, Gbaygaydu, Mamiekonnehdu, Nyamakamahdu, Sanzannor, Jarmulor, Tusu, just to name a few of our great towns!

I therefore urge every one of us who hail from Quardu-Gboni District to do all we can to make the vision of the establishment of these institutions in our district a reality. For now, the vision should be considered as a blue print but it should be regarded as a blue print that will one day become a reality!!
