Public administration school to reopen

    ABIDJAN
    The Liberia Institute of Public Administration (LIPA) is to run a training course for civil servants for the first time in a decade, the independent Star radio reported. LIPA Director General James Teah Tarpeh announced over the weekend that about 80 people are expected to participate in the course -on research methods- which starts on 21 June. LIPA, set up in 1969 to conduct research and training in modern government operations, had a library of more than 7,000 books, journals and other publications, which the war reduced to just seven books, the radio reported Tarpeh as saying. The institute operates in space provided by the Ministry of Finance. Its building needs renovation, for which more than US $ 250,000 is required, Tarpeh said.
