He added that the LBS Substation would serve as check and balance for news sharing.

“My presence in the county has nothing to do with politics of the county but to implement the instructions given to me by the President of Liberia Joseph Nyuma Boakai.
I must ensure the people of this county have equal opportunity to listen and watch news, and this is the reason I am here to accomplish that mission”. LBS Director Emphasized.
The LBS Official emphasized that President Boakai is interested in providing the space for everyone to express their thoughts, but the radio station in Gbarpolu will serve as a gateway to correct misinformation and disinformation, and put forth accurate news content to the public.
Meanwhile, the LBS Director General used the occasion to extend his gratitude to the People of Madina for being supportive to the Government of Liberia developmental Initiatives across the country, and the opportunity to have access to land to construct radio and television stations displayed a commitment to supporting the president’s agenda.
