The Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, Cllr. Cooper W. Kruah Sr. is urging Liberians home and abroad to access the government’s information network.
Minister Kruah said everyone can now access the National ePortal via www.eLiberia.govl.lr which provides a one-stop shop that facilitates access to government information and e-services.
The minister spoke Thursday, August 16, 2018 at a CIO Council Workshop held at the Ministry main edifice in central Monrovia.
“The ePortal is dedicated to providing information to local and diaspora citizens, foreigners and the general public on locating government agencies on the internet, accessing automated services available across government agencies and providing relevant information during epidemics, disasters and other emergencies,” Minister Kruah averred.
He said the website was formally launched by the Vice President of Liberia, Madam Jewel Howard-Taylor during the celebration of the country’s 171st Independence anniversary.
“By launching the eportal, we hope to centralize all online government services for our citizens and businesses to communicate and transact with the government,” he added.
The Posts & Telecommunications minister also acknowledge USAID and Digital Liberia Project Team for their coordinated support toward the development of the draft of the national ICT policy and the improvement of performances of ministries, agencies and commissions under the e-Governance program implementation.
“We also acknowledge the World Bank for its crucial support towards our reform efforts for providing the funds to allow us access the ACE cable system that now connects Liberia to the world,” he intoned.
