According to an Executive Mansion release, President Sirleaf stressed “quality and performance” as she pledged to the Union government’s fullest support and commitment in promoting Liberian businesses.

She assured the Union that once it takes inventory of schools and begin to produce uniforms of all schools, government will work with them to promote the industry.

“Bid for more contracts in the best interest of promoting Liberian entrepreneurship and build yourself well while we work with you,” she added.

President Sirleaf then challenged Commerce Minister Axel Addy to continue working with the Union to ensure products made in Liberia are available on the market.

She then congratulated Geneva K. Garr, Proprietress of Approved Wear Fashion House, Duport Road, for securing a contract from Segal Security Firm to produce set of uniforms for the security, which she described as commendable.
