KogarI bring you compliments and wish to, through this open letter, thank you immensely, on behalf of the Zao Development Association of Nimba County and in my own name as a citizen of Nimba County, for your tireless advocacy to get some understanding of the status of the county’s social development fund from ArcelorMittal through a mineral development agreement. Whatever was responsible for the long delay, I really wish we didn’t have to get so strangulated as a county before the monies could be made available to us. This is supposed to be a just benefit for extracting minerals from a county that has given so much to the building and development of Liberia over the years. This includes ensuring that the channel of releasing the funds to Nimba County in accordance with the Mineral Development Agreement is respected and followed and not unnecessarily politicized.
