Liberia received 285 construction machines to boost infrastructure, marking National Yellow Machines Day on Feb. 26, 2026.

Liberia celebrated the arrival of 285 earth-moving machines, dubbed "yellow machines," at the Freeport of Monrovia, marking a key step in President Joseph N. Boakai’s infrastructure initiative. On February 26, 2026, the House of Representatives declared the day "National Yellow Machines Day," with lawmakers wearing yellow to show unity. The first shipment included graders, bulldozers, and excavators, with officials praising the fleet’s potential to improve rural road access and economic development. The project, restructured after 2024 controversies over procurement and oversight, now operates under a new board with reduced costs and enhanced accountability, though full contract details remain undisclosed.
