The Liberia Agricultural Company (LAC) has introduced two new school buses and a TATA truck to enhance its educational and operational services across its Grand Bassa County plantation. General Manager Naveen Madan commissioned the vehicles over the weekend, ahead of the upcoming academic and operational year. LAC operates eleven schools serving approximately 7,750 students, with 45% being girls, and also admits students from surrounding communities and runs an adult literacy program.

During the commissioning, General Manager Madan urged drivers to maintain the vehicles and cautioned students against damaging property. He emphasized responsible use of the new assets for their intended purposes. Madan stated that this investment is part of a broader strategy to improve services for employees, students, and nearby communities, with further enhancements anticipated.
