In preparation for the April 14 March for Jobs and Justice, Chairman Odecious Mulbah of the Student Unification Party (SUP) visited the Fendall campus of the University of Liberia on Monday to engage students and rally support for the party’s campaign on economic and social reforms.
Accompanied by scores of party militants, cadres, and supporters, Mulbah addressed hundreds of students, emphasizing the role of youth as the “moral compass and intellectual conscience” of society.
“The youth have the power to hold the government accountable,” Mulbah said. “Your voice is critical in demanding that the state fulfills its promises and protects the dignity of its citizens.”
He highlighted Liberia’s persistent unemployment crisis, noting the gap between government promises and the realities faced by ordinary Liberians.
“You must agitate for better economic conditions, for jobs, and for the rights of every citizen,” Mulbah urged, calling on students to exercise their democratic rights responsibly.
Following the campus visit, the SUP Chairman led a march to Omega Market, engaging market women, motorcyclists, taxi drivers, kehkeh riders, and street vendors.
Mulbah encouraged these groups to join the April 14 March, framing it as a collective effort to address economic hardship and social inequality.
“The march is for every Liberian struggling to make ends meet,” he said. “We are united in demanding justice and accountability from the Boakai administration.”
The mobilization continued to Redlight, where militants vocalized anti-government slogans, songs, and chants, criticizing the administration’s failure to resolve societal challenges.
SUP supporters accused the Boakai government of incompetence in addressing social and economic contradictions affecting ordinary Liberians.
The outreach concluded in the Pipeline Community, where residents pledged to participate in the April 14 March in large numbers.
Community members commended SUP for engaging directly with citizens and highlighting pressing issues such as unemployment, poverty, and limited access to social services.
Chairman Mulbah reiterated that the march would be a peaceful but resolute demonstration of citizens’ demand for jobs, justice, and accountability.
“Long live the April 14 March for Jobs and Justice! Long live the Social Unity Party! Together, we will ensure the voices of the people are heard,” Mulbah declared to the crowd.
