River Gee County Senator, Jonathan Boye Charles Sogbie, has commended President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for approving “An Act to Create the National Sports Fund Authority,” a landmark bill crafted and sponsored by the River Gee lawmaker.

The Act, now signed into law and printed into handbill, establishes the Liberia National Sports Fund Authority — a dedicated government body tasked with mobilizing, managing, and disbursing funds to support sports development across the country.

The Senate overwhelmingly passed the bill on July 23, 2025, with a concurrence by the House of Representatives, President Boakai subsequently signed it into law, marking a historic shift for Liberia’s struggling sports sector.
