The Student Unification Party (SUP) says it has shifted from traditional student militancy to a more practical intervention by taking full responsibility for repainting the University of Liberia (UL) Graduate School, accusing the government of abandoning its duty to maintain the nation’s flagship institution of higher learning.
In an official statement, SUP said the decision follows what it calls the government’s “relentless failure and shameless refusal” to improve UL’s deteriorating learning environment.
The group stressed that the Graduate School hosts high-ranking officials, including the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House, the Presidential Press Secretary Koli Fofana, and several other senior government figures—yet the condition of the facility remains “an indictment” of national leadership.
SUP described the initiative as a “political confrontation,” not an act of charity, arguing that the government’s negligence has pushed the university to the brink. The Party said UL remains a historic hub of intellectual resistance, but unlike other state-run tertiary institutions, its facilities have been left “unhealthy, unhygienic, and dangerously unfit for learning.”
According to the statement, the deterioration is not accidental but a “calculated pattern of abandonment” aimed at weakening education and silencing critical voices.
SUP called on students and the Liberian public to support what it termed a revolutionary mandate. The group promised to soon issue a formal marching order to mobilize militants, sympathizers, and citizens for the repainting exercise.
