Peter Chinco Logan says a prayer at a ribbon-cutting ceremony during the induction of the new headquarters of the National Civil Society Council of Liberia on 13th Street, SinkorSINKOR – The National Civil Society Council of Liberia (NCSCL)—the largest conglomerate of advocates and activists in the country—has inducted its first ever headquarters its leadership says points to a new era in the institution’s history. “Today’s ceremony points to a new beginning for a vibrant civil society, prepared to provide the necessary coordination, promote networking and dialogue…for a functional civil society in Liberia.”The dedication of the facility is a breakaway from the controversy of NCSCL’s elections in December last year. Mrs. Pope-Kai said she had stuck to her campaign promises of uniting and strengthening the comity of civil society organizations and grassroots groups. “We urged members of civil society to remain constantly engaged but never should we resort to violence to address our concerns,” she said. ECOWAS Ambassador Babatunde O. Ajisomo praised the efforts of civil society groupings in the country and admonished them to seek more knowledge in their areas of advocacy for truthful reports.
