It is written: “Let your light so shine before man that they may see your good works, and glorify your Creator.”
This quote was fulfilled over the weekend when the Baffu-Bay Pentecostal Church of Liberia honored the Governor of the Borough of New Kru Town, Robert Teah as “Father of the Year 2025/6.”
Governor Teah was honored for his ‘tireless contributions and services to humanity and society at large.’
At the honoring program on Sunday, June 29, 2025, the Acting Senior Pastor, Reverend Ignatius Wleh Fulka said, the decision of Baffu-Bay Pentecostal Church to honored Governor Teah as “Father of the Year,” was predicated upon his many good works in the Borough since President Joseph Nyuma Boakai appointed him.
“The Church reached the decision to honor Governor Teah, because he has launched a sanitation program, which is now keeping the borough cleaned,” Fulka said.
Pastor Fulka meanwhile, called on the residents to formulate programs that will promote sanitation and other development initiatives aimed at giving the Borough a befitting outlook.
He then praised Governor Teah for employing competent and qualified people in the Borough to work with his leadership, despite their political and religious differences.
Fulka: “The people and communities stand ready to benefit from Teah’s developmental programs void of politics.”
He continued: “I urged every one of you who one way or the other is benefiting from the Governor kind gesture to perform your duties in the best interest of the Borough. Anything contrary to that will have the propensity to create division, thereby stopping development.”
Governor Teah: “Though I am a partisan of the ruling Unity Party (UP), my quest for better employment opportunity will cover all qualified individuals within the Borough.”
Elder Dixon Wlebo of the Bethany Temple of Liberia delivered the Father’s Day messaged.
Elder Wlebo cautioned fathers to set good examples that will make the children to become good citizens to participate in the country’s development agenda.
Several high-profile individuals in and around the Borough, were also honored along with Governor Teah for their respective roles in the Church and the community.
The honorees included the Borough Vice Governor for Operations, Deconte Woto, Reverend Lawrence S.N. Doe, and Sampson Z. Cambell
