The MoU includes academic scholarships for officers of the LNP and Liberia Fire Service, aimed at improving professional standards across the national security sector.

Immediately following the signing, a groundbreaking ceremony will be held for a new police station to be constructed on Cuttington’s Suacoco campus. 

The project will make Cuttington the first university in Liberia to host an on-campus police station.

Cuttington University’s Vice President for Institutional Advancement, Mr. Advertus Orea Wright, described the development as a landmark initiative.

“With the ever-increasing number of students and the expanding community around the university, the need for enhanced security measures has become evident,” Wright said. “The safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and neighboring communities are of utmost importance to us.”

The event, scheduled for 11:00 AM at the Samuel David Ferguson Hall (G-Stand), is expected to draw government officials, members of the public, and international partners.
