MONROVIA— President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr. has dismissed Dr. Dougbeh Chris Nyan, Director General of the National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL), and his deputy, Dr. Adams K. Lincoln, effective immediately. The Executive Mansion announced the decision on Wednesday, citing a broader administrative reshuffle.

In the wake of the dismissals, President Boakai appointed Dr. Sia Wata Camanor as the interim Director General to lead NPHIL pending the selection of a permanent replacement.

According to a statement from the presidency, Dr. Camanor has been tasked with coordinating and collaborating with the NPHIL Board, the Ministry of Health, other government agencies, and partners to “ensure the institute’s stability and continuity of operations.”

The move at NPHIL is part of a wider administrative reorganization that also involved the Ministries of Justice and Internal Affairs.

Ministry of Justice:

Attorney Teklo Maxwell Grigsby II was named Director of the Witness Protection Unit.

Varney Ali Sheriff was appointed Deputy Director of the Witness Protection Unit.

Dr. Stephen D. Paye was appointed Probation and Parole Administrator.

Ministry of Internal Affairs:

Amos T.F. Kemeyah was named County Relieving Commissioner for Lofa County.

The Executive Mansion emphasized that these changes reflect President Boakai’s commitment to “fostering effective leadership, accountability, and institutional efficiency across all sectors of government.”
