Dukuly was the first "Native" Liberian to be appointed foreign minister. Dukuly was of Mandingo descent. He was a Muslim in his early life. He, however, left Islam and embraced Christianity before he became foreign minister.{{Cite web|url=http://theperspective.org/articles/0617200501.html|title = Religion and Power in Liberia}} He was preceded by Gabriel Lafayette Dennis and was succeeded by J.
