Today we say farewell to Professor Dr. Patrick Lawrence Nimene Seyon, a distinguished Liberian public intellectual and progressive activist. Patrick served as Director of Planning and Development and later as Vice President for Administration. During the formation of the Interim Government of National Unity in late 1990, Professor Seyon was appointed President of the University of Liberia. 20th century Liberia has not had a more selfless, dedicated and commit public intellectual than Professor Seyon. In the pantheon of leaders of higher education in Liberia, the name of Professor Dr. Patrick Lawrence Nimene Seyon will rank among the best.
