The newly inducted Commissioner of the township of Royesville in Montserrado County, Madam Bindu William, has called on the government to provide her leadership the necessary policy guidance and logistical support.
According to Madam William, the craved supports are to help her office to adequately execute her functions and responsibilities in line with the ARREST Agenda.
Madam William made the plead to central government through the Ministry of Internal Affairs(MIA) on Friday, August 29, 2025, when she officially took over as Commissioner of the Township of Royesville at a well-attended ceremony.
“Development is a shared responsibility; I therefore called on the central government, through the MIA to provide the necessary policy guidance and logistical support,” Madam William stated.
The third female Commissioner of Royesville proffered reconciliation and peace building in the township.
She named infrastructure development, human capacity development and agriculture as the four pillars of her administration.
Madam William promised to foster reconciliation and social cohesion in the township irrespective of social-political, economic and religious backgrounds to achieve development initiatives.
She also promised to renovate all public schools in the township, and construct a public clinic.
She said by doing so, a conducive environment for learning and healthcare will be engendered.
Madam William swore to build a police depot in the township, and rehabilitate road connectivity.
“Royesville does not have a police depot. Police matters are taken as far as Brewerville or Bomi County.
Madam William also said investing in the youth and women of the township through academic and vocational skill trainings will be a major priority.
“Our first priority is investing in our people, particularly our women and youth with special emphasis on girls,” Madam William said.
She added: “We will work to promote academic education, and vocational skills training that empower our citizens, not just to survive, but to thrive.”
Madam William tapped on the government agriculture program by promising support for farmers through trainings, access to tools, linkages to markets that will ensure that agriculture is not a fall back option, but a foundation for prosperity.
She called on the Montserrado Legislative Caucus to advocate for and channel resources to the Township of Royesville. Similarly, she appealed to the office of the Superintendent of Montserrado to support the township quest for development.
Madam William also called on development partners of the township, including Bao Chico Resource Limited, and the African Methodist Episcopal University to stand with the township in its developmental quest.
She rallied residents to contribute in every meaningful way in developing and uniting the township.
“Let us seize every opportunity. Let contribute whatever we can to transform this township we love and cherish. Let history record that we stood together, worked together and built something worthy,” Madam William told the gathering.
In remarks, Samuel Brown, MIA’s Deputy Minister for Administration, commended Commissioner William for her ascendency to the post.
