Mr. Togba however said, a team will be set up by the department to coordinate the entire process and the recruitment exercise of the first 15 high school will begin in Monrovia and also indicated that each selected school will be given time to do a presentation on news contents that will be gathered from their school on Saturdays.
The Acting Director of the United Methodist Communications Department then indicated that sharpening the skills of young people always lead to assuming future leadership role and at the same time encouraged parents to help expose their children’s talent by helping them get engaged with educational programs.
