Montserrado County district # 16 Representative Dixon Seeboe has officially launched an empowerment foundation, with the awarding of six international academic scholarships to constituents from his district.
Lawmaker Seeboe is the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Ways, Means and Finance. He is representing the people of district # 16 in the 55th National Legislature on the ticket of the opposition Coalition for Democratic Change .
He said a vetting process was carried out following the receipt of applications and thorough scrutiny of the beneficiaries. Representative Seeboe emphasized that the elections are over; and as such, it is now time for him to work with everyone, regardless of political affiliation to move the district forward in terms of development.
He said though he does not hold any personal relationship with parents of those who received the scholarships, the beneficiaries should focus on their studies to bring proud to their parents. He stated that this would help ensure that teachers are fully equipped to be able to mold the minds of students in the district.
He further provided loan to about 50 women in the district, with each recipient walking away with the amount of L$30,000.
