I thank you for providing me this platform to give special remarks on this historic occasion – celebrating ECOWAS Human Rights Day. Many times when we speak about human rights we fail to put ourselves in the context of others who are experiencing the lack of it. This year’s theme: ‘Promoting Rights to Education towards the Attainment of ECOWAS Vision 2020’ cannot be more appropriate for us in Liberia. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, we agree that the denial of access to education is indeed a human rights violation. We need more and better trained teachers not only for our vocational institutions, but equally so for our schools and universities.
