Congo Town – Former Nimba County Superintendent Jackson J. PAYE, has alarmed over what he describes as the invasion of foreigners, mainly Burkinabes within the forest of Tappita. Mr. Paye, who also serves as Deputy Minister of Public Works for Outreach, said Tuesday that the foreigners are occupying lands belonging to inhabitants of Nimba County without any efforts by the security apparatus to arrest the situation. The former Nimba County Superintendent termed as unfortunate, for some people in government, to condemn their advocacy, each time the issues of invasion are raised. Mr. Paye further noted that the issue of reconciliation must take into consideration boundary disputes between towns and villages. At the same time, Mr. Paye said he has donated 50 acres of land in the Graie, Nimba County for the construction of a technical institute.
