The General Chairman of the Lofa Sports Association Resource and Mobilization Committee, Senator Momoh Tarnuekollie Cyrus said the stadium project is the initiative of the citizens of Lofa County, and therefore, all citizens of the county should contribute to the project.
“Thank God the media is here! I want to say this very clear and let the media carry it. This is not a government funded project, this is Lofa citizens’ initiative” Senator Momoh Tarnuekollie Cyrus said in a special message at the ground breaking ceremony in Voinjama.
Lofa County Legislative Caucus represented by District #3 Representative, Momo Siafa Kpoto pledged the Caucus support to the stadium project and said it will be fully supported by the Caucus.
“We will publicly pronounce the amount we intend to contribute to this project when President Joseph Nyuma Boakai visits the county for the Christmas Celebration, but for now, all I can say is that, I’m just a messenger and we will fully support this project” Representative Kpoto disclosed.
