4 February 2025, Monrovia- The President of the Republic of Liberia, His Excellency, Ambassador Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sir., has announced the major progress made in the land sector of Liberia.
In his State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Boakai highlighted that in 2024, the government has issued deeds to 24 land-owning communities, securing almost one million acres benefiting more than 200,000 Liberians.
He added, ” We also imposed a moratorium on public land sales to curb speculative grabs, which will be lifted only after established guidelines. These efforts aim to enhance tenure security, resolve conflicts, and promote sustainable land investment throughout Liberia. We will continue to prioritize this crucial effort”.
Recognizing the many challenges in the land sector, the President pointed out that Liberia faces escalating land conflicts. He mentioned: “Our court systems are overwhelmed with land cases, and headlines highlight disputes between investors and communities, alongside powerful individuals grabbing land from the vulnerable”.
