Monrovia, Liberia – October 1, 2025 – The Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) has issued its first-ever licenses for insurance Value-Added Services (VAS) aggregators, opening a new space for Liberian entrepreneurs in the telecom industry.

Commissioner Ben Fofana, speaking for the LTA Board, called the move a “major advancement for Liberia’s digital economy,” stressing that the initiative will build investor confidence, encourage competition, and expand opportunities for smaller local operators.
