A young Liberian politician is expected to walk out of the Strayer University in the United States of America with a second Master degree in Project Management with emphasis in Industrial Management.
Mr. Lans C. Wright, who obtained a BSc degree in International Business, and an MBA in Public Administration and Public Policy in 2015, will graduate on June 28, 2025, from the Strayer University.
According to a release issued by the “Friends of Lans C. Wright,” he will walk out of the university with his second Master’s Degree in Project Management with emphasis in Industrial Management
Upon his graduation, Wright is expected to further his education in the area of law.
Mr. Wright, who contested the District #17, Montserrado County seat in the 2023 legislative elections, and lost to Representative Bernard Benson, has since remained working with the various communities and or townships in the district through the “Friends of Lans C. Wright” until the formation of the Lans Humanitarian Foundation in 2025.
The Lans Humanitarian Foundation, the release said, was formed to further strengthen and enhance the dreams, aspirations and visions of Mr. Wright for the good of the Liberian people, particularly residents of District #17.
Wright has meanwhile, called on the government to prioritize the Liberian people wellbeing above self-gains.
He spoke to the press, according to the release, via telephone from the USA where he is expected to participate in the Strayer University’s graduation.
He is to earn another degree: “The humanitarian-Liberian, as he is called by the people of District #17, praised President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.
“He is somehow focused on development, but said, the president and his team must keep focused and do more,” the release added.
Wright lauded Pres. Boakai for the level of development taking place so far. He called on him to pave the road leading from Iron Gate in Virginia through Central Virginia onto Clay Ashland, Millsburgh, Arthington and through Brewerville, Montserrado County.
He said, government must as well ensure the availability of more public schools across the country for the benefit of the future of the country.
“Education is the only pathway to genuine development in any nation for which the government must take keen interest,” the release quoted Mr. Wright.
He added: “The absence of electricity in various townships in District #17, to include Artington, Millsburgh, Clay Ashland, Virginia and Brewerville City, need to access basic social services.”
He particularly named electricity and pipe borne water; pointing out that these communities are just a stone throw from the water plant, the hydro in White Plains and Harrisburg.
“How can the points that provide these services border our communities/townships and we still do not benefit from the services,” Mr. Wright rhetorically remarked.
According to him, if communities in the district are connected via paved roads, electricity, pipe borne water, solid educational system with qualified teachers, the people will have easy access to their farms to better the economy.
He called on the government to do all it can to smoothen the economy for the good of the Liberian people.
Meanwhile, Mr. Wright has out-rightly condemned actions by those who allegedly burned the capitol building.
He described the act as “demonic and devilish,” but expressed gladness that the government is now pursing the matter through the court.
