Monrovia, Liberia – The Liberia Council of Churches Ecumenical Youth Organization (LCCEYO) has been commended for its outstanding leadership and commitment to fiscal transparency under the stewardship of outgoing Chairman Jerome J. Jallah.
During a formal turnover ceremony, Jallah and his team handed over assets and cash to the newly inducted Chairman, Victor M. Paasewae, and his team of officers. This gesture was witnessed by the General Secretary of the Liberia Council of Churches (LCC), who praised the young leaders for setting a remarkable precedent.
In his remarks, the General Secretary highlighted that such acts of accountability and structured leadership transitions are rare among leaders. He noted that many individuals in positions of power often step down without providing a formal turnover note, making the LCCEYO’s approach a commendable exception.
“This action by the outgoing leadership sets a new standard, one that should be emulated by other institutions and leaders,” he said. “The level of transparency demonstrated here today speaks volumes about the integrity and commitment of these young leaders to good governance.”
The General Secretary of the LCC also welcomed the new leadership and encouraged them to build upon the work of their predecessors. He emphasized the importance of collaboration and assured them of the LCC’s support in fostering a productive and impactful administration.
The transition was met with admiration from within the LCCEYO. The newly inducted leadership, under Paasewae, has pledged to uphold these values and build upon the legacy of accountability left behind by their predecessors.
The LCCEYO plays a crucial role in mobilizing young people within the religious community to promote peace, unity, and development. This latest leadership transition is expected to further strengthen the organization’s mission and enhance its credibility within both the church and broader society.
As the organization moves forward under new leadership, stakeholders remain hopeful that the high standards of governance and financial integrity set by the outgoing team will continue to be upheld.
