The Press Union of Liberia has commended government for the recent donation of US$100,000 to the union.

Deputy Information Minister Cletus Sieh said the money was government’s contribution to the union’s Headquarter construction Project.

The PUL described the donation by the government as worthy, noting that such amount will go a long way in the progress of the institution.

The Union’s Leadership views the donation as a demonstration of President Sirleaf’s commitment toward the development of the Liberian Media.

The PUL said the donation is a result of an appeal to President Sirleaf last year during two separate meetings between her and media executives.

The union also expressed heartfelt gratitude to Information Minister Laurence Bropleh and Presidential Press Secretary Cyrus Wleh-Badio.

A statement from the union said the donation was ensured following behind-the-scene discussions between the officials and the Chairman of the Special Projects Committee, Alphonso Toweh.

The union promised to use the amount for the intended purpose and also maintained that the union would remains steadfast in upholding its social responsibility.
