From Senate to Seaport: Former Senator J. Milton Teahjay Tapped to Take Over Greenville Port Amid Leadership Shake-Up

Greenville, Sinoe County — Destiny News has reliably confirmed that former Sinoe County Senator J. Milton Teahjay is expected to formally assume office next week as Director of the Samuel Alfred Ross Port of Greenville, following the suspension of the current Port Director, Madam Tarley.

According to verified information obtained by Destiny News, the decision to appoint Senator Teahjay comes in the wake of recent administrative actions that created a leadership vacuum at one of Sinoe County’s most strategic economic assets. The Samuel Alfred Ross Port plays a central role in maritime trade, local revenue generation, and broader economic activity across southeastern Liberia.

Former Senator Teahjay brings extensive public-sector experience to the position. Prior to serving in the Liberian Senate from 2014 to 2023, he held the post of Sinoe County Superintendent, where he was involved in local governance, infrastructure oversight, and administrative management. His long record in public service has positioned him as a familiar and influential figure in county and national affairs.

Sources within government circles suggest that Teahjay’s appointment is intended to restore stability at the port, improve management efficiency, and strengthen oversight following the recent suspension of Madam Tarley. Stakeholders have frequently raised concerns about accountability and operational effectiveness at the port, underscoring the need for firm and experienced leadership.

While an official announcement is expected in the coming days, Destiny News understands that all administrative arrangements for the transition have been completed, clearing the way for Senator Teahjay’s formal takeover next week.

Public reaction in Greenville and across Sinoe County has been mixed. Some residents and port users have welcomed the move, citing Teahjay’s experience and familiarity with the county’s development challenges. Others remain cautious, calling for clear policy direction, transparency, and tangible reforms under the incoming leadership.

As the transition unfolds, attention will be focused on whether the new administration at the Samuel Alfred Ross Port will deliver improved governance, enhanced efficiency, and renewed confidence among stakeholders. Destiny News will continue to closely monitor developments and provide updates on the official induction and early policy signals from the incoming port director.
