The event comes as part of efforts by the county administration to promote local culture and support young Liberian talents.
Speaking during SIO’s visit to Zwedru, County Superintendent Alex Grant said, “Under our ARREST Agendas for Inclusive Development, we are here to promote culture and our young talents.
It was a pleasure to see our own musician visiting the county. Since the war ended, this is the first time a Grand Gedean musician is being recognized among his peers, becoming a shining example of our style and talent.”
Superintendent Grant added, “Not much we can offer him, but when he comes home, we have to celebrate him in grand style. That’s why we are honoring him on Monday. I invite people from all over the county to witness this momentous occasion and celebrate our own.”
SIO, visibly humbled and in a joyous mood, thanked the superintendent for the recognition. He was seen shouting, “Oh, title, title! My county coming to give me a title. Thank you so much, Daddy, thank you so much!”
SIO is currently in Zwedru City for the Orange Liberia mega wave promotion program.
