President of the Republic of Liberia, His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai
President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, on Saturday, voluntarily slashed his salary by 40 per cent.

Mr Boakai, who was quoted in a statement published on Liberia’s government website on Saturday, said this move was “aimed at setting a precedent for responsible governance and nation-building.”

“In fulfilment of his commitment to fiscal integrity and national financial security, President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has announced a voluntary 40 per cent reduction in his salary,” the statement added.

According to Mr Boakai, the announcement reflects his determination to lead by example in strengthening government accountability and demonstrating solidarity with the people of the nation.

In February, Mr Boakai disclosed that his annual salary was $13,400. His opting for a 40 per cent pay cut will see the president’s annual salary reduced to $8,000.

Mr Boakai’s move mirrors that of his predecessor, George Weah, who had previously implemented a 25 per cent salary cut during his tenure.

Anyone who voted for Tinubu has no regrets – Masari

A close ally of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Ibrahim Masari, has said that anyone who voted for the president in the 2023 general elections has no reason to regret their decision.

Masari, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), made the statement during an interview with the BBC while speaking on Tinubu’s performance as his administration marks two years in office.

“Anyone who voted for President Tinubu between himself and God has no regrets,” he said.

He added that President Tinubu has recorded many achievements, especially in the areas of security and the economy, despite the current hardship being experienced by many Nigerians.

One of the major steps taken by the president, Masari said, is the removal of fuel subsidy.

However, he defended it as a bold and necessary decision that has helped the government save money and invest in development projects.

According to him, the president demonstrated rare political courage by removing fuel subsidy, a move previous presidents could not carry.

“Past presidents wanted to do it but couldn’t. He did it because of how much of the country’s money was being wasted.”

Masari also explained that the funds previously spent on fuel and electricity subsidies are now being redirected to important areas of national development, helping both the federal and state governments to function better.

He acknowledged the hardship many Nigerians are going through but insisted that the decisions taken by President Tinubu are meant to build a stronger and more stable country in the long run.
