MONROVIA – The Acting Executive Director of the National Commission on Disabilities (NCD), Apostle Dr. J. Aaron Wright Sr., has reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to advancing inclusion, equal opportunities, and empowerment for persons with disabilities across Liberia.
Speaking over the weekend at the Commission’s headquarters in Monrovia, Dr. Wright outlined a series of ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening the institution’s capacity to deliver on its mandate and improve services for persons with disabilities nationwide.
As part of those efforts, the NCD unveiled a brand-new staff bus, which Dr. Wright described as a key component of the Commission’s broader institutional reform agenda.
According to him, the acquisition of the vehicle is intended to improve staff welfare, enhance productivity, and strengthen the Commission’s operational effectiveness as it expands programs and outreach activities across the country.
He noted that transportation challenges have often affected the timely execution of official duties and expressed confidence that the new bus will significantly improve mobility and coordination among staff members.
“The acquisition of this bus reflects our ongoing reform agenda and staff-centered leadership approach aimed at building a more responsive, efficient, and effective institution in service to persons with disabilities across Liberia,” Dr. Wright said.
The Acting Executive Director emphasized that strengthening the internal capacity of the Commission remains critical to ensuring that persons with disabilities receive the support, advocacy, and opportunities they deserve.
The unveiling ceremony was greeted with enthusiasm by staff members, who described the vehicle as a timely intervention that will ease transportation difficulties and improve the implementation of the Commission’s activities.
Also speaking at the event, Senior Presidential Political Advisor MacDella Cooper praised the leadership of the National Commission on Disabilities for what she described as a practical and meaningful investment in staff welfare.
Madam Cooper said the provision of the bus demonstrates the Commission’s commitment to creating a conducive working environment for employees dedicated to advancing the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities.
She further commended Dr. Wright and his management team for their leadership, describing the initiative as evidence of a selfless commitment to institutional development and improved working conditions.
According to her, investments in staff welfare ultimately contribute to better service delivery and strengthen the Commission’s ability to fulfill its mission of promoting the rights, dignity, and inclusion of persons with disabilities.
The latest development comes as the National Commission on Disabilities continues efforts to strengthen its institutional framework and expand programs aimed at ensuring that persons with disabilities are fully included in Liberia’s social, economic, and political life.
