Monrovia – Liberia Inspector General Josephine Davies has encouraged students in the country to use education as a means of transforming Liberia.
She said quality education of every Liberian must be backed by computer skills, which she said is becoming a requirement at various work places around the world.
“If you are educated, no one will use you to commit atrocities in your country. No one will use you to commit crime against humanity,” Davies said.
“You need to be persistent, determined and focused as a young person and your desire for quality education must be backed by computer of information technology skill.”
Speaking over the weekend at the launch of an information technology group, AFRIKTECH, and the opening of a computer lab at the Amos T. Warner High School in Monrovia, she said to do so, students must inspire themselves, no matter their status.
Madam Davies stated that some of those who are expected to lead the future generation into becoming successful, are now messing up things in the country.
Davies wants young people to do away with peer pressure, but must take on the challenge to get involved with ventures that will help them out.
She said, as public official, there is a need to serve with integrity and sincerity, so that people, especially the upcoming generation can see them as an exemplary.
Meanwhile, she admonished students not to do things that will delay their education, stating that Liberia depends on them.
