President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Honors Minister of Education Dr. Jarso Maley Jallah and Ten Other Distinguished Liberians for Courageous and Transformational Service to the Nation

Monrovia, Liberia – July 24, 2025

In a momentous celebration of patriotism, integrity, and national service, His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., President of the Republic of Liberia and Grand Master of the Order of Distinction, today presided over an official Investiture Ceremony at the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Ministerial Complex in Monrovia.

The prestigious national event recognized eleven exemplary Liberians whose innovation, courage, and selfless service have significantly shaped Liberia’s development landscape across education, diplomacy, justice, academia, philanthropy, and civic engagement.

Among the honorees was Dr. Jarso Maley Jallah, Minister of Education, who was awarded the distinguished Dame Grand Band of the Humane Order of African Redemption (DGB-HOAR).

Dr. Jallah’s recognition is a tribute to her visionary leadership in education reform, her inclusive approach to national development, and her relentless pursuit of equitable learning opportunities for all Liberian children.

This honor stands as a testament to her inspiring courage, unwavering commitment to excellence, and deep-seated belief in education as a transformational force for national prosperity.

Instituted in 1883 by President Anthony W. Gardiner, the Humane Order of African Redemption is Liberia’s oldest and most revered national distinction.

It was established to honor the divine providence shown to Liberia’s Founders and to express enduring gratitude to nations, philanthropists, and individuals whose humanitarian acts have lifted others from degradation to dignity. Today, it remains a timeless symbol of redemption, compassion, and national appreciation.
